"One warm Wednesday morning, the sun winked through Wombat's window and woke her up. "What a wonderful day to wander the world," she thought."What if Wombat woke one Wednesday with wanderlust? What if she wrangled her wander-worthy companions--Weasel and Woodchuck--to wend their way through the world with her? What if the world, the woods, and its wicked things wrestled with their wishes for wild adventure? But what if these wily wanderers used their wits to ward off worries and all the world's wild creatures? Why, then it would be a most wonderful day to wander the world.

The fun starts one warm Wednesday when Wombat wakes up, wistfully thinking that it's a wonderful day to wander the world. Off she waltzes to invite Weasel and Wookchuck to wander with her. But first there's the work of preparation to be done, and then . . .the dreaded ?what ifs? set in. What if the stalwart wanderers are beset by wasps or wolves or walruses? What then? Edwards supplies the answers using more ?W? words than Elmer Fudd. Clearly, she is mining the same territory she did in "Some Smug Slug" (1996). And once again, with the help of Cole's wonderfully witty pictures, she has produces a delightful story that demonstrates how much fun can be had with words and that begs to be read aloud."Booklist," January 1 & 15, 2000The story is told with as many ?w? words as the author could think of, which makes reading aloud fun. The illustrations complement and add to the fun of the tale."Children's Book Review Service," Inc., January 2000

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Worrywarts7 Feb 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
We love The Worrywarts! This book immediately became my four-year-old's favorite storybook. We never get tired of reading about the adventures of Wombat, Woodchuck, and Weasel.
Caution and worry seem to be a big part of parenting a young child, but the three characters in Pamela Duncan Edwards' story remind us to keep our worries in perspective.
Wombat, Weasel, and Woodchuck venture out to explore the world. Each time fear starts to overcome one, the others use humor and practicality to meet any challenges they encounter.
The illustrations are bright and fun. Edwards' use of alliteration makes the book so entertaining to read aloud. (Not to mention a great book to share when studying the letter "W.")

4.0 out of 5 starsWhat if...14 Mar 2004
By Jessica Ferguson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
What if you were reading a wonderfully wacky book about a wombat a weasel and a woodchuck who wanted to wander the world and your woefully weary wee-ones began wiggling under their wraps, wracked with guffaws?
If you are reading The Worrywarts, the scenario is not far-fetched!
Silly illustrations abound to accompany this truly innovative story line involving unheard of scenarios Wombat, Weasel and Woodchuck might encounter. Fortunatley, by thinking - and planning - ahead, they are able to thwart all of the scary things that may have awaited them.
The emphasis on the letter "w" is an added bonus to this addictive storybook.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat play on Words!5 Jun 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
My family loves this funny book! The author is quite creative with the choice of "w" words throughout the story. The more we read it aloud, the more it grew on us. We find ourselves quoting lines from it!
