What if he gets on the wrong bus? What if he can't find his things? What if he needs help, or can't read yet, or messes up? What if nobody plays with him? And the biggest one, the one he can hardly say out loud: what if I'm the only one who's scared?
One by one, this gentle read-aloud opens each worry, looks inside it, and finds the same soft answer waiting on the other side: ...and then you'd be okay. Not because nothing will go wrong, but because every what-if has a next step small enough for a little dinosaur to take.
Inside this book:
- Eleven real first-day worries, each answered with a calm, concrete plan a child can actually use
- A comforting refrain that children begin saying along with you by the third page
- A best-friend ending that answers the biggest worry of all: you are not the only one
- "Ask Me My What-Ifs" - a guided page of questions to open the conversation the night before
- A "For Grown-Ups" page with simple scripts for the night before the big morning
- Soft, cozy bedtime illustrations that keep the focus on Sprout and his friend Bear
Perfect for:
- The night before the first day of preschool, kindergarten, or a brand-new school
- Children ages 3-7 who feel big feelings about new experiences
- Parents, teachers, and counselors who want words that work instead of "you'll be fine"
- Back-to-school read-alouds, morning meetings, and calm-down corners
Worry shrinks when it has a plan. This story gives every what-if a plan, gives every child the words to ask for one, and tucks the whole thing inside a warm bedtime story about a small green dinosaur and the friend who was scared too.
From Sprout's World - the series that brings Sprout, the beloved little T-rex from the Sprout Feels books, into big adventures and even bigger feelings. If your reader loves this story, the series continues with Sprout and the Lost Star, Sprout and the Longest Night, and more.
Reading age 3-7. A complete story in 40 warm, full-color pages - short enough for one bedtime, sturdy enough for the hundredth reading.
