One thing leads to another, and Finn’s little fibs soon get in the way of everything! Finn eventually finds the courage to do the right thing, making Finn’s Little Fibs (Macmillan, 2023) a reassuring and humorous book - a perfect springboard for talking to children about the importance of honesty.

THE TRUTH ABOUT YETICORNS (Rachel Morrisroe, Ella Okstad)

Bea often tells little fibs when something goes wrong. Fairy-cats wiped mud all over the floor, wild octoponies flooded the bathroom... and lately a humongous Yeticorn has been charging around, gobbling up her sister Edie's sweets and sneezing confetti everywhere! But one day, Bea wakes to find that a Yeticorn REALLY has come to stay - and his whippy, trippy tail causes all sorts of problems that she gets the blame for!
The Truth About Yeticorns (Puffin, 2023) is a bright, bold picture book full of wonderful wordplay in which Bea finds the courage to stop fibbing and finally tells the truth - a great story to support conversations about being honest and saying sorry, that will help children understand how their actions affect others.
A funny, heart-warming rhyming tale about sibling friendship, telling the truth, and using your imagination for good.

SID’S BIG FIB (Roo Parkin, Irina Avgustinovich)

Sid’s Big Fib (Maverick, 2023) is a funny tale about little lies that get sillier and sillier with extreme consequences. Sid and Lulu try to outdo each other with their weekend goings-on. From epic amounts of chocolate cake to riding the Cosmic Colly-Wobbler, Lulu always edges it. Until Sid launches... a BIG FIB! And once his lie is out there, it ZOOMS into orbit and Sid has to battle to keep everyone believing.

With lots to enjoy in the words and pictures, this story shows children how little fibs can quickly get out of control and when it comes to friendship, they just aren’t necessary.
