Slowing down and telling the truth is a lesson every child needs early. Lay a foundation of biblical wisdom with the relatable example of Sid Squid.

Sid Squid and the Fib That Snowballed

Sid Squid loves games, especially hiding among the coral at Deep Waters Aquarium. But he is not so great at slowing down. He rushes through everything: his chores, his food, even brushing his tentacles.

When his mom asks him to clean his room before he heads out to play baseball, Sid rushes through the job and stuffs everything out of sight instead. When his mom asks if he really cleaned, he tells her yes, and a small cloud of ink appears around him.

Sid does not understand the ink at first. But every fib he tells the rest of that day, to Stella Starfish about a torn glove, to his dad about a broken lamp, brings another cloud with it. By the time his dad walks in on a room full of ink, Sid cannot hide the truth any longer.

His dad helps him see what has been happening. Being faithful in little things is what makes us faithful in big ones. Being dishonest in small things is what makes us dishonest in bigger ones. Sid learns to slow down and think hard about the truth before he speaks, and by the end of the day, he feels lighter than he has all along.

Scriptures and Wisdom in this Title

  • The key bible passage for Sid Squid Fibs is Luke 16:10 (NIV): "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much."
  • The wisdom nugget comes from Sid Squid's dad: "The Bible says that if you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in big ones. But if you are dishonest in small things, you won't be honest about bigger things."

This book offers a gentle way to discuss honesty, fibbing, and the freedom of telling the truth with young children, helping them understand that owning up to a mistake, even a small one, is always better than covering it up.

Large, Heavy or Oversized Orders

Our standard delivery charges are designed to cover the vast majority of orders. However, occasionally an order may be particularly large, heavy or bulky, meaning that the actual cost of delivery is significantly higher than the standard delivery charge shown at checkout.

This is more likely to apply to larger orders being delivered to Northern Ireland, Europe or destinations outside mainland UK, although it may occasionally apply to other orders.

If your order requires an additional delivery charge, we will contact you before dispatching your order to explain the additional cost and obtain your agreement. We will never take an additional delivery payment without contacting you first.

If you do not wish to pay the additional delivery charge, you will have the option to cancel the affected order for a full refund.

European and Rest of World Deliveries

Please note that we are still shipping to the EU and the rest of the world but due to Brexit there maybe delays and customs charges in the country of your delivery. Unfortunately this is outside of our control.

Checking The Progress Of Your Order

You will be sent an email informing you when your order has been dispatched. In addition to this you can follow the progress of each item you have ordered by checking your account details (login and click on ‘My Account’ on the top right of the screen).
