In a dry dusty place where the sand sparkled gold, stood a mighty flat rock, all craggy and old. And under that rock in a tinyful house, lived the littlest, quietest, meekest brown mouse.
Fed up of being ignored by the other animals, Mouse wishes he could roar like Lion. But, as he discovers, even the biggest, bossiest people are scared sometimes … and even the smallest creatures can have the heart of a lion!

I don’t think I’ve ever read a more enjoyable children’s book. I bought this and the worrysaurus For my son has has some anxiety/worry/fear issues, he’s 3in a few days & he can spend too much time in his head, over thinking everything. He can go a while where I think he’s crossed that bridge & then Something triggers his behaviour & it then opens new subject matters in his little & before you know it he’s diving into the couch at the sound of passing cars &hiding from the lamp post outside (it looks like a dippy-docuss) & worried that he’ll get bitten by a shark. The Gruffalo is his absolute worst nightmare & unfortunately it’s everywhere, it’s on other Julia Donaldson books, in other Julia Donaldson books, it now has a child. It’s also a nursery fave.
He loves books though, we spend a lot of time reading & he enjoys trips to the library. Over time I’ve been looking for books to help him be brave & think more in the now. Some of the books I’ve looked at that are aimed at toddlers with issues like worry or fright but are absolutely ridiculous, with overbearingly depressing titles, written using language that over complicates their problem & could easily baffle the mind of a 3 year old. But they over complicate how to handle things as a parent. The message needs to be positive & fun. At the end of the day, the importance should be that the child enjoys books, books are supposed to be loved & you can’t not enjoy this book. It’s just as lovely as the others from the author & beautifully illustrated but I found it a real giggle & therefore so did my boy. I don’t know why we didn’t buy it sooner. Everyone should own this book, it’s not just for worriers, it’s a brilliant read.
(The worrysaurus was also a huge hit in our house)
