El color juega un importante papel a lo largo de la historia, ya que expresará las emociones que el preocupausario esté sintiendo en ese momento. Asimismo, tanto los tonos como los colores varían desde los más oscuros y tristes a otros más vivos, alegres y brillantes, pudiendo identificar los estados de ánimo y emociones con colores, e incluso con otro tipo de objetos. Las mariposas, por ejemplo, son introducidas como concepto que representa sensaciones como nervios, desconcierto o estrés. Esta metáfora promueve la reflexión y el diálogo con los niños para que ellos mismos sepan identificar sus emociones. I have been looking for a book to help children understand their feelings and worries that they may have, and this is it! The Worrysaurus is a little dinosaur who has lots of anxious thoughts about what could go wrong in his daily life, but he is brave and finds several ways to conquer them and is happy. The language is easily accessible, and the author’s use of rhyme produces a lullaby-effect to soothe children and make them feel calm. Es maravillosa la forma en que la autora transmite la información. Constantemente hace uso de comparaciones, notas poéticas y rimas, que buscan que el niño se sienta admirado y desee acercarse más a la palabra escrita ya que se sienten atraídos por su sonoridad.

She has written several books for children, including Love Monster, The Lion Inside and The Koala Who Could– winner of the Evening Standard Oscar’s Book Prize and the Sainsbury’s Book Award. Her books have sold over 300,000 copies in the UK alone and been translated into over 30 languages. She is also the creator of award-winning stationery and homewares range, The Brightside. Rachel lives on a farm near the seaside, with her partner and their two young daughters. She once won a week-long date in Tahiti, with ‘Man of the Millenium’ featured in Marie Claire magazine (and then spent a long time living it down). It might be me, but teaching „Carpe Diem“ to pre-schoolers, they of the „why do I need to go to bed? Why do I need to brush teeth? Why do I need to go to the bathroom before long travels?“ seems extremely, nay horribly, insanely ill-advised.

La edad ideal a la que yo recomendaría este libro es entre los 3 y los 7 años, pues tanto su mensaje como su profundidad son completamente adaptables y explotados en función de las habilidades del educador.

Personalmente me ha parecido una historia maravillosa, muy didáctica y lúdica que trabaja las emociones y la forma de tratarlas dirigida y adaptada a los pequeños. También me parece muy apropiado como recurso educativo no solo por sus increíbles y simpáticas imágenes o su motivador personaje, sino por todas las opciones que ofrece para trabajar tanto en familia como en el aula. I don't normally review kids books because let's face it, like most parents I read the same 20-30 books over and over and over and over and ...
