Fibber E. Frog's lack of self-confidence leads him to tell tall tales to make himself feel better. No one takes him seriously anymore because he tells so many fibs. When you teach Fibber E. Frog to be happy with his self, your child will learn the same lesson. What readers are saying about this title: This book teaches children about telling "fibs" through a likeable frog named "Fibber". Instead of focusing on why it is important to always tell the truth, this book takes a different approach. It encourages children to be comfortable with who they are, and to not feel that they need to build themselves up to others by making up stories that are not true. - C. Armstrong, GA
