A chapter book suitable for children aged 7 to 10 years.
Lies are told for various reasons, but most often to avoid trouble. Help your child understand why telling the truth is always the better choice in the long run. Billy Field and Ant Turner mess about on their way to school and stop to buy sweets. They arrive late, and to cover up their mistake, they lie to their form teacher. As always, there are consequences. When the police arrive at school investigating a robbery, Billy and Ant's lie is uncovered. Do Billy and Ant get into trouble? What are the consequences of their lying? Will their parents or others be able to trust them again? Billy and Ant Lie is the fourth title in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book explores a different topic—bullying, arrogance, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians, and teachers address issues that challenge pre-teen children, each topic is presented gently through storytelling. Setting these issues in a meaningful context helps children understand the challenges and see things from a different perspective. The books act as conversation starters for discussing difficult subjects. Additionally, each title is supported by a free activity book to reinforce learning whilst having fun. Buying this book today will help your child appreciate the impact of telling lies and how it can affect others negatively.
