Winston Was Worried

**Winston Was Worried: A Hilarious Tale of Canine Misadventure!** Is your child a dog lover? Do they enjoy stories filled with silly antics and heartwarming moments? Then dive into the delightful world of Winston in "Winston Was Worried," a charming children's book by acclaimed author Pamela Duncan Edwards! Poor Winston! He has a splinter, a monumental crisis in the eyes of any dog. His paw throbs, his tail droops, and all he can think about is the dreaded trip to the vet. As Winston makes his way through the bustling city, utterly consumed by his discomfort, he remains blissfully unaware of the comical chaos he leaves in his wake. Cars swerve, deliveries tumble, and pedestrians leap aside, all thanks to Winston's single-minded focus on his ailing paw. Pamela Duncan Edwards, known for her clever wordplay and engaging storytelling (check out her other books like "Some Smug Slug" and "Four Famished Foxes and Foxglove"), brings Winston's plight to life with humor and heart. This illustrated edition, published by Macmillan Children's Books, features vibrant artwork that perfectly captures Winston's worried expressions and the escalating mayhem around him.
