Perfect for a thought-provoking assembly (particularly for those children with exams coming up!). A compelling picture book which can be used as a spring board into what worries children today. The lively, comic-style pictures and the general nature of the worries make this excellent for any number of problems. The message of the book is clear—find someone who will listen and talk about your worries. A big book version perfect for encouraging group discussions on how to deal with worries.
Wherever Jenny goes, her worries follow her, in a big blue bag. They are there when she goes swimming, when she is watching TV, and even when she is in the lavatory. Jenny decides they will have to go. But who can help her?

About the Author

Get Used to It!: Twenty Reasons Why Growing Old Is Great. Frank Rodgers is the author/illustrator of almost 50 books for children, including Mr Croc's Silly Sock.
This book is fun to read and appropriate for any child. It is funny and helpful, not didactic or worrying. It describes how it feels to have worries, to have trouble talking about them, and how to diminish the worries. At the age when children begin to have worries (4, 5 and certainly later as well) this book is a good starting point for talking about them.
