WORRY WARRIORS, THE - BAND 17 - Big Cat

It’s the summer show and Eden, Daniel and Wale are brought together by chance, when nerves get the better of them. Little do they know, they’re about to embark on an adventure. Can they work together to overcome their fears and become the Worry Warriors?

Diamond/Band 17 books offer more complex, underlying themes to give opportunities for children to understand causes and points of view.

Pages 54 and 55 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall.

Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.
