Morris Mole has a large problem - a huge bundle of worries that sits on his bed and makes it difficult for him to sleep: Morris is 'worried about his worries', and the 'Terrors' that lurk in the midst of the bag, and the only way he can cope is to dig lots of tunnels. The other animals tell wonderful stories about themselves, but Morris refuses to say anything at all. His sleep problems get worse and worse until one day he confides to a robin about his difficulties. Robin says he thinks he has a friend who can help, but Mole must decide if he wants to talk to his friend. After some thinking about it, Mole goes to Robin with the request that he meet his friend -who turns out to be a little brown nightingale. Nightingale is an excellent listener, and soon Mole is talking and talking about all his worries. As he talks, he notices some of the worries, the 'light feathery' ones had 'simply untangled themselves and floated away'. 'Some of the squirmy ones had wriggled away under stones.' He must talk to Nightingale many yimes before he can admit to the Terrors, but she is reassuring, and we know at the end that she will always be there for him. Beautifully written with warm pictures in soft pastel colours, this is a real winner for the seriously worried child. A booklet inside the back cover gives children space to write down their worries about people and things and some possible ways of coping.
