Mouse Tells the Truth

Mouse Tells the Truth Synopsis

Get to know the animals of the Kindness Club and discover how Mouse finds the courage to be kind.

It's a perfect day on Rainbow Island for a boat trip and a picnic, but when Mouse accidentally makes a hole in his boat, he gets scared and lets his friend Fox take the blame. It doesn't take long before Mouse starts to feel awful about what he has done. Will he be a kind friend and own up to his mistake? Will Fox forgive him? Will Mouse get to be a member of the Kindness Club?

This charming board book for children aged 3-5 features:

- A strong underlying message encouraging children to do kind deeds and continue to be kind.
- Teaches the idea that being kind is not a one-off action; it is a way of being, in order to be a member of the Kindness Club.
- Whimsical illustrations sit alongside a heart-warming story centred on kindness.
- The story includes parent/carer notes to promote discussion between adults and children, questions that encourage understanding of the topic, and two activities: making a Kindness Club Badge and making a Peacock Fan that will track your kind deeds.

The heartwarming board book encourages children to always be kind to one another, through beautiful illustrations and a playful story with an important underlying message. In the words of Badger, who runs the Kindness Club, "When you show kindness, it makes you and your friends feel good."

Children will love the myriad of animal characters and learning and understanding the different ways we can be kind to one another. There are lots of extra learning opportunities, from questions about the story to activities showing you how to make your own Kindness Badge to notes for parents and carers to extend learning and reinforce positive behaviour.

At DK, we believe in the power of discovery. So why stop there!
