Titles in This Set The Very Hungry Worry Monsters Can I Have a Hug? Time for School Condition: New Format: Board Book Publisher: Make Believe Ideas Age Range: Ages 0-3 Overview Meet the Worry Monsters, the friendliest, funniest monsters around, in this charming touch-and-feel board book set. Written by Rosie Greening and illustrated by Lara Ede, each title tackles a gentle childhood worry - from big feelings and missing a hug, to first-day-of-school nerves - with rhyming text, bright artwork and tactile patches on every spread. Perfect for little hands and even littler worries, this set makes a warm, reassuring gift for toddlers starting out on life's small adventures. About the Books This collection brings together three much-loved Worry Monsters board books, each helping toddlers name and tame their worries through gentle, rhyming stories. In The Very Hungry Worry Monsters, children meet the monsters for the first time and discover that even the wobbliest worries can shrink once you share them. Can I Have A Hug? offers a tender look at love and connection, showing little ones that a hug isn't the only way to feel close to someone - a letter, a picture or a phone call works just as well. Time for School gently tackles first-day nerves, following the friendly monsters as they help a small worrier feel brave about starting school. Across all three books, Lara Ede's soft, characterful illustrations bring the monsters to life, while every spread includes a textured touch-and-feel patch - fluffy fur, bumpy scales or soft fabric - to keep curious fingers exploring as grown-ups read aloud. Sturdy board pages make these books ideal for repeated reading and small hands, while the simple, rhythmic rhyme builds early vocabulary and comfort with story time. Together, the set forms a lovely introduction to emotional literacy, giving parents an easy, playful way to open conversations about feelings, affection and everyday changes.
