Toothy but disarmingly tubby dragons stand in for childhood worries in this light-toned bit of therapy. This excellent metaphor for the fears and worries of every child (and adult) is accompanied by relentlessly cheerful illustrations in fine line and rosy washes of color. Even the dragons themselves, though fearsome, are kind of pastel. A great choice for the walking worried.
