A Chapter book for children aged 7 to 10 years old.
Stealing or theft involves taking something without permission or payment. Help your child understand that stealing is not acceptable. Max Turner, Ant Turner’s younger sister, wants to be more like her older brother and do boy things. She begins by painting her pink girlie bike green, but then decides it needs go-faster stickers. Since she has no money, she steals the stickers from a shop. Billy Field finds out and tries to help her undo her mistake. Does Max get caught? Will she admit what she has done? Will she understand the consequences of stealing? Billy Helps Max is the fifth book in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book tackles a different topic—bullying, arrogance, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Designed to help parents, guardians, and teachers address issues faced by pre-teen children, each story gently explores these themes through storytelling. Setting these issues in a meaningful context helps children understand the problems and see things from a different perspective. The books serve as conversation starters for complex subjects. Each title is also accompanied by a free activity book to reinforce learning while having fun. Purchasing this book today will help your child learn right from wrong and honesty from dishonesty.
