From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-- Tim worries that his house will be swept away in a flood, that the school bus driver will get lost, that he will forget his science report, strike out in the ballgame, and fall off the top of the swing set. He gets to school on time, doesn't hurt himself, and delivers a fine oral report. He does strike out, but no one gets mad at him. His mother assures him that if there is a flood, they will sail down the street to a tropical island, an answer that perhaps takes Tim's concerns a bit lightly. The cartoon-style illustrations convey the boy's emotions, yet the eye-goggling, mouth-gaping expressions lack subtlety. Depictions of his fears have jagged-edged borders, while actual events are in a sedate square layout, a device that clearly separates the two. Likely occurrences such as striking out are given equal weight with such unlikely happenings as the bus getting lost in the desert. And each worry is exaggerated by Tim's imaginings, further blurring the line between real concerns and useless worry. Both text and pictures are rendered in broad strokes. This is not a deep examination of anxiety. However, it is told from a child's point of view, and the overall tone is positive and supportive without being didactic. An adequate secondary purchase. --Karen James, Louisville Free Public Library, KY
