What is The Fibbs about?

The Fibb family has a talent for telling enormous stories. Mr Fibb returns from the greengrocer’s claiming a giant gorilla stopped him, while Mrs Fibb’s baking is interrupted by a strange little green visitor from outer space. Their son has a tale of his own, and it may be the most unbelievable of all. With each outrageous excuse growing more imaginative, this playful picture book invites readers to decide whether the Fibbs are telling the truth—or simply enjoying a wonderfully silly fib.
