I loved this book. Lion worries all the time but we he learns to think about the good stuff that will happen and then even when little goes wrong, he still says he had a good time and starts to worry less

It's a very good story because in the end Lion doesn't feel worried. Lion was my favourite character because he listened to Miss Bird and talked to his friends about his feelings and then he felt much better.

It was a bit boring because it's just about being scared and not being scared.

I loved this book because at the end he stopped worrying. I learnt that if you are worried we can take deep breaths and talk to our friends. My sister should read this book because she will love it.

I think it was a good idea that when lion was in a flap and he took a deep breath and listened to what Mrs Bird said and listened to his friends

I like this book because it's about a Lion worries all the time, but by the end of the book he doesn't worry. I would recommend this book to someone else, who worries about things.
