William Worrysaurus was a little dinosaur with big worries. He worried every day about everything, from being scared of the dark to not being as good as his friends. Will he ever be able to stop worrying?
Written by Brian Moses, this humorous picture book explores different things that children might worry about, from sleeping in the dark to going to school. Ways of dealing with these fears are then set out showing that there are ways to cope with these, sometimes overwhelming, emotions.

Excellent notes for parents and teachers at the back of this books show how to approach these issues with children. Other books by Brian Moses and Mike Gordon:
Brian Moses had dreams, growing up, of becoming a musician. But it was Bob Dylan’s lyrics that fired his teenage imagination. Then he encountered the ‘Mersey Sound’ poets and he was hooked. Starting out as a teacher, he wrote poems for his pupils and their response encouraged him to become a full-blown, published poet.
Now, more than 200 books later – either as author or anthologist – he has sold over one million copies and has been labelled ‘one of Britain’s favourite children’s poets’ by the National Poetry Archive. Music, with its rhythm and repetition, informs much of his work and he performs poetry and percussion shows across the UK and abroad. Brian lives in a small Sussex village with his wife, Anne, and their black Labrador, Jess. He says that his best ideas come to him when he is ‘out walking the dog’.
