Sweet Pickle Character Very Worried Walrus

This book completed our Sweet Pickle Alpha Series. Walrus helps children to learn not to worry about experiences they don't really know about. Be brave to try something new and you open up to experiences. Even if you fail the first time - try again! Was disappointed that the inside cover had crayon scribble.

How could you not love this book?

This book is a classic that my parents used to read to me as a child. The story is very cute and it helps children realize that worrying will not improve a situation.

Very Worried Walrus

The "Very Worried Walrus," written by Richard hefter. This book is about a worried walrus that is scared to ride a bike. He is worried that he will fall off and hit a tree, and have to go to the hospital, but the traffic jam stops him so the helicopter comes and as it takes him to the hospital the rope brakes and he falls in the water. Now he has to swim all the way to the shore. Then when he gets to a town all the trains had left and it was to late for the bus. So he had to walk home in the pouring rain and that made him sad. But the pig begged and begged him to try it. So finally he rode and rode but the end is up to you to read. I thought this book was a very good one and it will help your children to be brave and try everything at least once. This book will soon to your son or daughters favorite book.

Very Worried Walrus

This is a wonderful book for a parent to share with their child. It teaches a simple leason: don't sweat the small stuff and let it build up to be something bigger than it should be. My parents shared it with as a reading learner. It has become part of my families daily lingo.

"The Very Worried Walrus"

I remember the story about that old worried walrus very vividly, and I had always loved it. The story begins when a pig askes the walrus if he would like to ride a bike. That is where the nightmare begins. This silly walrus imagines himself on the bike, yet for some reason he seems to lose control of his own imagination. He begins to see himself recklessly riding the bike through town. He gets chased by a train, and eventually ends up in a river. The next thing he knows he's being lifted out of the water by an Iguanan flying a helicopter and taken to the hospital. But what do you know he wakes up and the pig convinces him to go ahead and give it a try. I loved all the sweet pickles books as a child. This one made me realize that even though things could be scary sometimes, they usually were not as bad as they seemed.
