In simple and reassuring terms, this entertaining book explores for young children aged approximately 4 - 8 what it means to be honest, why it is important, and what the consequences might be for those who are dishonest.
Children are shown that although being honest can be hard sometimes, it is worth it. Everyone likes people who speak the truth and keep their word. Kids learn that when we all practise being honest, the world becomes a fairer and happier place to live in.
Discussion boxes offer an adult opportunities to discuss the issues directly with their child audience. Charmingly clear illustrations give readers immediate access to complex situations and feelings and provide further stimulus for discussion. Notes for teachers and parents, plus suggested further resources, help adults to make the most of the learning opportunities inherent in the book.
Written by a trained psychotherapist, journalist and parent, and illustrated by a very experienced children's book artist, this is part of an acclaimed and successful series of picture-book non-fiction for Early Years.
This is Book 27 in the A First Look At Series. See all A First Look At books here.
