K-Gr 4-Soft, soothing artwork accompanies a quiet story about a young boy trying to overcome the terrors of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in his daily life. All of the people in young Kevin's life join forces to help him manage his problem, which he names Mr. Worry. The use of simple language and straightforward information clarifies the situation, and readers are soon cheering for the boy's success. The artistic portrayals of Kevin's thoughts add whimsy and interest to the story. Although the author includes a few setbacks, Kevin makes good progress, providing hope for the future. This title fills a singular need in the area of psychology.-Erlene Bishop Killeen, Fox Prairie Elementary School, Stoughton, WI Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Best children's book on OCDby Anonymous

May 03, 2005: A reader would not be researching if he or she had had the opportunity to meet Holy Niner at the book signing for MR WORRY at the OC Foundation last year in Chicago. This is a marvelously sophistocated book for the child with an eruption of OCD.
