Our favorite way? Stories.

Everyone loves stories. It's hardwired into our brains. If you don't...are you an alien? Heck, aliens probably love stories too!

Anyways, research shows that stories with positive endings and anti-fibbing themes promoted greater levels of honesty. And that's exactly what you're getting with The Fibbing Giraffe. This book teaches a powerful lesson to little ones and adults alike.

Seeing the effect on the giraffe when he fibs should motivate young ones to do the right thing and tell the truth. The illustrations make the book appealing to read as they are colourful and fun. - Michelle

The author does a wonderful job of adapting the familiar theme of the Pinocchio story into telling his own unique and fun version of a story with great illustrations and a message that is still very important for kids to learn to this day. - Nathaniel
