Tom Percival, Finn’s little fibs, Bloomsbury, October 2023, 32 pp., RRP $16.99 (pbk), ISBN 9781526642479
This is the seventh in a series titled ‘Big Bright Feelings’ that presents stories around issues that young children encounter every day. When Finn breaks his grandmother’s clock and blames his sister, the fibs escalate and he cannot enjoy the treats that their grandmother has for them. Finally he realises the only answer is to tell the truth.
Brightly illustrated with the most expressive faces on all three characters, this simple story provides a great beginning for discussions about honesty and managing feelings when things go wrong. Ages 3-6.
