Filbert, the Good Little Fiend

This charming chapter book introduces Filbert, a little fiend who prefers helping old ladies to being gruesome, much to his parents' dismay. When he's banished from fiend school for good behavior, he meets a mischievous angel who's also an outcast. Together, they form an unlikely friendship and devise a plan to show their respective worlds that being different isn't bad. It's a heartwarming story about individuality, friendship, and finding your place when you don't fit the mold. Perfect for children aged 4-8.

A little fiend who’s too good for his own good befriends an angel who is too naughty—and together they concoct a clever plan. Daddy and Mommy Fiend want their little Filbert to be gruesome and ghastly, but he won’t trample or terrify, roar or holler. He’d much rather help an old lady with her bags or go bird-watching. What are they to do with him? When Filbert starts school, he quickly learns that good behavior isn’t tolerated in class, and he is banished outside until he can act like a proper little fiend. Suddenly a little angel appears, flying fast and furious until...bump! Could this naughty Angel-School dropout be just the friend Filbert needs? Could they find a way together to make everyone accept them as they are?
