SJF Book Recommendation (19-03-21)

21st Mar 2021

This week Mrs Sambrook’s recommendation for our younger children is the wonderful ‘Worrysaurus’ by Rachel Bright and Chris Chatterton.

 

It's a beautiful day and Worrysaurus has planned a special picnic. But it isn't long before a small butterfly of worry starts fluttering in his tummy...

What if he hasn't brought enough to eat?

What if he gets lost in the jungle?

What if it rains?


With a little help from his mum, Worrysaurus finds a way to soothe the butterflies and chase his fears away so he can enjoy the moment.


This book will help every little anxious Worrysaurus at home or in school let go of their fears too.

It strikes just the right balance of being positive, light-hearted and reassuring, with clever rhyming text from Rachel Bright, who has written several books for children, including ‘Love Monster’, ‘The Lion Inside’ and ‘The Koala Who Could’.

For Worrysaurus her writing is complimented beautifully with charming illustrations by Chris Chatterton.
