Description: Winston is a dog with a splinter in his paw, and he’s convinced nothing could be worse. Too worried to play, he heads to the vet, oblivious to the much bigger problems his friends are having—being stung by bees, chased by crocodiles, or even taken away by a dustbin lorry! Winston’s dramatic focus on his own troubles blinds him to the needs of others, but when his splinter falls out and he finally notices his friends, he learns a gentle lesson about empathy and perspective. The book’s bright, comical illustrations and witty text make it a fun read for children and adults alike, offering a humorous take on worry and the importance of looking beyond ourselves to care for those around us
