Reviews
A sweet book that makes a great resource to start teaching young children about positive mental health. Dame Esther Rantzen Childline Founder and mental health ambassador; I have used this in school to work with children to help build confidence and resilience. They loved the characters and the story and refer to their worries as `silly limbic' moments now mirroring the dog in the story. Can't wait to use this with my new class in September as it was so well received. Mrs J Ford KS2; This is a really lovely book for children (and adults!) to help them understand and manage their anxieties. It works equally well as just a story book too. As a therapist I have found it a great tool, but I need to buy another one as my 5 year old nephew loved it so much I ended up letting him keep it! Helena Silver ( Therapist)
