This book is a great example of a fantasy book, although if you take out the personification of the mice, this could indeed be a realistic fiction. But, for the sake of this, we will consider this book fantasy. The plot of this book is well played out with Wemberly's first day of school and all of

her worries compiled into one flowing story!

This book is a great book to read to children who are just starting school. It shows them that other children are worried about things and that it is okay to stop worrying and have fun. The story is very well written and easy to read and comprehend. It is colorful and interesting to look at as

well. Overall, this is the perfect book to read on the first day of school.

Wemberly worried about everything, until she makes a new friend. Great for grades k-5. the children could draw a picture of a person or item that gives them comfort when they worry.

A wonderful, touching, funny and wise book.

LibraryThing member lwmasters

Wemberly is a sweet character that perhaps many first time students could relate to. Throughout the story Wemberly deals with many issues in which students also have to face. The book teaches children that their is truly no need to worry while still being humorous. Children will certainly enjoy the

illustrations throughout the book.

This is a very cure book about feeling scared, and worrying about things. In the book Wemberly is always worried about everything especially about starting school. When she does start school she meets another girl a lot like her. Her friend also has a special stuffed animal and she is also worried

a lot. They soon begin playing together and their worry goes away.

I thought this was a very cute story for children. It is about a little mouse named Wemberly who was always worrying about something. Her mother, father, and grandmother always told her not to worry; however, she always did. Then, she remembered that the first day of school was coming up very soon,

which made her worry more than she ever had before. She began worrying about things that might be wrong with her or that might happen on the first day of school. Once she arrived, she met a girl named Jewel who had a lot in common with her; therefore, she did worry quite as much. In fact, she worried so little that she left school telling the teacher that she would be back tomorrow "don't worry."
I would read this book to children in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade. I would read this on the first day of school because it has to do with worrying about the first day of school, which is something that alot of children face. In addition, I would read this when learning about the letter "w" because it is a book that is full of words that begin with "w" and that emphasizes the "w" sound.

Wemberly worried about everything. Her parents and grandmother always tried to get her to stop worrying, but she just couldnt help it. She never had any reason to worry. When school was about to start, she worried even more. On the first day of school, she met a new friend who was just like her,

and they had so much fun together! Wemberly didnt have to worry after that. This is a great first day of school book to show children they have no need to worry about school.

Wemberly worried about everything. She was very worried about her first day of school though. She worried constantly and when she was worried she would rub her bunnys ears. At school she met a friend like her though and it made everything better.

LibraryThing member eastahlhut

This is a very cute book addressing the first day of school. Wemberly the mouse was constantly worried about everything. When the first day of kindergarten was close to arriving she worried even more. At school, she met a friend who was just like her. They had so much fun together and she worried

no more. This is a great book to show little children how every one is nervous and worry's about things.

Wemberly worried about everything. She worried about big things, little things, and things in between. She worried in the morning, evening, and at night. She worried all the time. At her birthday party, she worried that there would not be enough cake. At Holloween, she worried that there would be

too many butterflies in the parade. When it was time for her to go to school, Wemberly worried that the teacher might be mean, if she couldn't find the bathroom, if the room smelled bad. She worried all of the time. When she got to school, she met the teacher, Ms Peachum. As Ms Peachum talked to Wemberly's parents, she told her she thought she should meet Jewel. Wemberly found that Jewel worried a lot also. They became the best of friends. They had so much fun. Before they knew it, it was time to go home. Wemberly decided she would go back to school the next day, no worries.

This is a cute book about a mouse who worries about everything under the sun. She worries about big things, small things, and things in between. She worries all throughout the day. People are worried about how much she worries.

LibraryThing member HalleyEllis

summary: Wemberly is a young mouse that worries about everything. She worried so much it would worry her family memebers. Her biggest worry was school. She got to school and met another young mouse who worried and became friends. At the end of the day Wemberly forgets about everything she had

worried about before.

Personal Response: I loved this short simple book. I believe that this book would help a lot of young children that worry about thier first day of school. Many students could react to this book, because everyone has worries at some point.

classroom extention:
1-Write about a worry that you have overcome.
2-Draw a picture of something that helps you not worry anymore.

I use this wonderful book at the beginning of the school year. Wemberly makes the adjustment to Kindergarten with the assurances of parents and Grandma. The illustrations are perfect!

LibraryThing member Danafi

Excellent book. Prefect to read on the first day of school to the lower grades. Could use for a lesson on feelings and working through problems.

LibraryThing member kag026

Wemberly is a worry wart. Her parents and her hysterical grandma try to convince her not to worry. Finally she meets a friend named Jewel on the first day of school, that is just like her. Wemberly is happy and does not worry about school anymore.

LibraryThing member jromero3

A cute little mouse named Wemberly worries about EVERYTHING all the time. Despite her parents and grandmother telling her she worries too much, Wemberly shifts her worries to something new-the first day of school. However, her long list of worries were put to rest by the end of her first day at

school as she made a new friend and took part in class activities.

I thought this was a cute book. I can relate to Wemberly because I am quite a worrier myself. This would be a good book to read to a child who is fixing to start school or something else new in his or her life.

In the classroom, I could have the children 1) draw a picture of a good friend and write/tell some things they like to do with that friend or things they have in common or 2) we could talk about some of the things they worry about and discuss what they do when they are worried.

Anyone who has ever worried can relate to this book. Henkes explores the beginning school jitters through the lens of a young mouse named Wemberly. Wemberly is somewhat of a chronic worrier, but with supportive parents and a new friend, she discovers that starting school isn't so bad after all.

LibraryThing member alliecipa

This is a great story to read to children because everyone can relate to worrying about something. Wemberly is a little mouse who is worried about everything- especially when it comes to starting kindergarten! With the support of her family and the new friend she makes at school, she becomes more

comfortable and puts some of her worries aside to have fun!

Wemberly worries about everything. Now school is starting and she worries even more. She wonders what will school be like and if she will make friends. A great book to read to kids who are having worries for their own.

LibraryThing member DayehSensei

This adorable Kevin Henkes classic can and should be read to any group of apprehensive children during the first days of school. First time kindergarteners/preschoolers will especially appreciate this tale of a young worrier and her first pursuits of friendship and fitting in. One of my all time

favorites!
