Why Do Kids Lie? Apart from trying to cover up their mischief and "oopsies", kids are also experimenting with their imagination. If you think about it, lying takes a lot of work! You have to understand that the person you're lying to doesn't "know what you know". And then you have to use creativity and brain-power to conjure a story that makes sense! There's a lot of mental work that goes into lying. So when your kiddo first starts to tell lies, it's a sign that he or she is getting smarter! BUT there are things you can do as a parent to prevent lying as a bad habit. 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.

Book Description
The bestselling creators of the hilarious Penguin Problems, Jory John and Lane Smith, turn a giraffe's problematic long neck into an enviable advantage in this fun board book. Edward the giraffe can't understand why his neck is as long and bendy and, well, ridiculous as it is. No other animal has a neck this absurd. He's tried disguising it, dressing it up, strategically hiding behind bushes--honestly, anything you can think of. Just when he has exhausted his neck-hiding options and is about to give up, Cyrus the turtle ambles in (very slowly) and helps Edward understand that his neck has a purpose and, besides, looks excellent in a bow tie. Along with a heavy dose of humor comes a gentle reminder about the importance of acceptance.

Book Description
Scott Spectrum is being haunted by a ghost giraffe named Jim. Scott thinks he’s a man how has everything — a high-speed internet connection, alien-shaped slippers, and a beautiful wife called Continence. But Scott hasn’t touched her in years and she’s been left furiously polishing the sideboard, dreaming of black stallions. According to Jim, Scott’s days are numbered, and to save himself from certain death from sexual repression he must quickly perform every act in the lovermaker’s lexicon. Jim Giraffe knows a lot about sex, luckily. He also loves pizza and beer and has breath that smells of tree-tops. The prudish Scott is at first shocked by this profane, perverted ghost giraffe, but he accepts his help. Little does Scott realize that Jim has his own agenda and that his suburban idyll is about to be well and truly buggered up. Following on from the cult classic Boxy an Star, Daren King has written another extraordinary novel: highly original and linguistically ingenious, naïve and knowing, utterly charming, filthy, and very, very funny.
