I received complimentary product(s) to facilitate this review from the sponsoring company. This is 100% my own honest opinion. No one has influenced me otherwise and I was in no way compensated financially. This review is solely based on my own experience with this product.
The WorryWoo Monsters is a series created by Andi Green. There are six monsters total, with each character’s story embodying an emotion. Each plush monster comes with a hardcover book detailing a playful tale about each emotion. The emotions showcased in each story are loneliness, insecurity, confusion, innocence, and worry. The sixth emotion, frustration, will debut in 2012.
How cute is Wince? This guy is soft and made of a high quality plush. Anytime I receive a plush toy, I do the quick “tug” test to make sure no seams burst. I can happily report that Wince past the test with flying colors! When I gave Wince to my son, he happily grinned at this little monster and gave him a huge hug! I love how unique Wince (and the other monsters) looks, very different looking from other plush toys out there. His accompanying book is beautifully illustrated with bright colors and easy to read sentences. My son loved looking at the colors and pointing to Wince on the pages (he’s in a pointing phase right now).Now I don’t want to give away too many details, but I loved the story! Poor Wince worries too much. When he worries, he feeds the Worry Bug! The book details Wince’s worries in life, and how the Worry Bug keeps growing bigger and bigger. Geared towards children of any age, this tale is one that could help your little worrier. I’ve often heard from other parents that the oldest, or an only child, often becomes the worrier of the family. Right now my son doesn’t have a care in the world, since his “world” revolves around food, toys, and sleep. Though as he grows older, and then can understand the words, I think this is a great book to read to him to help him ease his mind over any little trouble he may have. I look forward to checking out the other great books in the WorryWoo Monster Series!

I totally want this one but I think I like Fuddle or Nola the best. Maybe Rue? It's a good thing my baby-to-be has a lot of aunts and uncles… we're gonna need to stock up on WorryWoo Monsters. Thanks for posting this – it looks like a great toy to have!
That looks super cute! My daughter would love any stuffed animal that came with a book! Makes it that much more fun!!
This sounds like a great book! It can be hard to explain emotions to young kids. I will definately watch for the frustration book that comes out next year!
This sounds like it would be perfect for helping kids understand their feelings!

How cute! I love the book and stuffed animal combo..I agree it does make it more fun :)
You're little one is too cute! And really seems to be enjoying it!
Do you have to be a kid to read these? Because I worry about *everything* and might be able to learn a few pointers ;-) (seriously)
This will make a great gift for my friend's kids.
For adorable!
Such a cute gift idea! I have some nieces and nephews to shop for who would love these!
