The Worry Warthog

Age range 5 to 9

Set in an African jungle, a warthog realises that everyone has worries and how to handle his worries. 

What are some of your worries? Ralph the worried warthog has plenty of worries, and they all seem impossible to overcome. A hedgehog helps show Ralph that this is certainly not the case. The lion is scared of thunderstorms, the ground squirrel is nervous about preparing for winter and the frog is worried he can't jump as high as his friends. Every animal has their own worries, and Wilson learns that a way to handle his worries is to talk about them.

'This sweet piece of bibliotherapy delivers uncomplicated, commonsense advice to young readers/listeners who may occasionally find themselves beset by troubling concerns. Cute, simple cartoons depict Ralph and company in a sympathetic, gently humorous, child-appealing light.' — Kirkus Reviews
