Summary: a reader in ny
Review: I highly reccomend Tolya Thompson's books Loud Lips Lucy & Worry Wart Wes. Her unique rythmes are complimented by colorful & fun illustrations. The books are extremely entertaining as well as eductational. The smartie at the end of the book explaines the medical problem that her character has. This promotes health & awareness from a young age. I have never before read a childrens book which incorporates such important topics.

Summary: A young boy named Wes learns to counter rising pressures
Review: The second book in the "Smarties Series" from Savor Publishing House, Worry Wart Wes is the story of a stressed out young boy. Told in singsong rhyme by Tolya L. Thompson, and brought to life with vibrant color illustrations by Juan R. Perez, Worry Wart Wes shows how a young boy named Wes learns to counter rising pressures with simple relaxation techniques - taking a deep breath and then blowing out the awful thoughts and stressors inside. A "smartie" note for both kids and parents at the end of Worry Wart Wes offers wisdom about the negative effects of too much stress in children.

Summary: Looking For Pastel Baby Blues, This Book Is Not For You
Review: Worry Wart Wes, is definitely stressed. Tolya L. Thompson deals with the realities of today's children in bright, bold, and successful colors. The color draws the children in and keeps them wanting more. If you are looking for pastel baby blues in soothing colors in a book, then this book is not for you. The pictures are wonderful and almost realistic. Have you ever seen an appealing wart? Well you won't see it in this book either. The rhyme is designed to develop phonemic awareness, and it works. The children walk around repeating phrases in the book; which ultimately helps them retain and recognize words in the future. If your child doesn't sit through this story write the author and get some tips on how to utilize the book. The children are entertained until the end of the story, and always ask you to "READ IT AGAIN!"
