Everyone’s favourite little dragon is back in a new story, once again delivering an important life lesson simply and with real charm. Like many of his young fans, Fergal sometimes tells fibs. Mostly, they don’t matter that much, and nobody gets hurt, but when he accidentally breaks a window in Bear’s bakery and the blame lands on Fox, that’s different.
Fergal knows how upset Fox is, and the situation is making him feel awful too, like there’s a heavy weight in his tummy. Fortunately, telling the truth can start to make everything better. Starling presents the moral with a typically light touch, and there’s reassurance throughout in the presence of Fergal’s friends and from the happy ending.
Children will easily identify with little Fergal and learn lots from his behaviour, all of it useful.
The fourth in the Fergal series that tackles difficult emotions sees our favourite fiery dragon face to face with his conscience after he tells a huge lie.
Read the full description
Fergal has discovered that he can tell a little lie and get away with it. But when he accidentally smashes the bakery window with his football, he tells a really big lie and his friend gets into big trouble. Fergal is out of hot water for now, but he feels terrible.
Will coming clean be enough to get rid of the funny feeling in his tummy?
Fergal learns that lying can get out of control, hurt others and make you feel bad. Admitting to a lie and making amends isn’t easy, but Fergal shows us how.
