Silly Billy

By Anthony Browne

An atmospheric exploration of childhood worries, and how to overcome them, by the 2000 Hans Christian Andersen Medal Winner.

Billy is a bit of a worrier. He worries about hats and shoes. He worries about clouds and rain and giant birds. Most of all he worries about staying at other people's houses. His mum and dad try to help, but still Billy worries ... until a visit to his grandma's shows him how to overcome his fears with the aid of his imagination – and some tiny worry dolls.

I am studying to be a primary school teacher and was looking for something to share with my next key stage 1 class. I have just bought Silly Billy and i am very excited about taking it in to share with my class. The storyline is very good to use with small children and you can create some great lessons using the books - from geography about Guacamala or history about the worry dolls and even PSHE lessons about to children worries. I have even thought about making some worry dolls with my children as a DT Lesson. I can't wait to use this book in my class!
