Squiggle's Tale

A parent might reach for this book when their child has tried to explain away a mess with a story that doesn't quite match reality. It’s for moments when you want to talk about honesty and intentions without a heavy-handed lecture. The story is told through a letter from a young creature named Squiggle, who assures his parents of his perfect behavior during a trip to the park. The humor and the real story, however, unfold in the illustrations, which show the delightful chaos he and his cousins actually caused. This book is a funny, gentle way to explore themes of honesty, perspective, and the fact that good intentions can sometimes go haywire, making it perfect for kids aged 4 to 8.
