Billy Helps Max: Stealing

For 7 to 9-year-old boys and girls.

Stealing or theft is taking something without permission or payment. Help your child realise stealing is not an acceptable thing to do.

Max Turner, Ant Turner’s younger sister, decides she wants to be more like her older brother and do boy things. She starts by painting her pink girlie bike green, but then thinks what it really needs are go-faster stickers. As she has no money, she steals them from a shop. Billy Field finds out and sets out to help her undo her misdoings.

Does Max get caught? Will she own up to her what she’s done? Will she understand the consequences of stealing?

Billy Helps Max is the fifth title in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book addresses a unique topic—bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians and teachers deal with the issues that challenge pre-teen children; each topic is presented in a gentle way through storytelling. Setting the issues in a meaningful context helps children to understand the challenges, and to see things from a different perspective. The books act as icebreakers allowing for discussions of difficult subjects. Additionally, each title is supported by a free activity book to reinforce the learning, while having fun. Buying this book today will aid your child in working out right from wrong, and honesty from dishonesty.
