Description
"Sir Tim the Knight has a hard time feeling brave and being honest when he makes mistakes. After a few fibs and more-than-a-few bites of his mom's delicious strawberry shortcake, his tummy starts to feel not so good. He finds relief in telling the truth. A sweet story for younger kiddos about the importance of telling the truth. The message is clear and direct. Kids and parents alike will enjoy the illustrations and the story." - Douglas County Libraries
Real knights are always honest. But when Sir Tim accidentally rips his cape, he tries to blame his friend Max. And when Mom leaves a strawberry shortcake on the table, he sneaks a bite. Keeping all these secrets begins to give Sir Tim a bellyache . . .
A sweet and recognizable book about keeping secrets. For honest knights ages 4 and up.
The third book in the Sir Tim series! Tim is an
ordinary boy, and like all ordinary boys, not
everything always goes his way. Tim really wants to do well, but sometimes that's not
possible. His innocence and unbridled energy sometimes get him in trouble. Except when
Tim becomes Sir Tim, because knights can do
anything. With his knight helmet on his head
and his knight cape around his shoulders, suddenly Tim feels much more successful. Sir Tim
doesn't worry about accidentally spilling his
milk on the table anymore. And Sir Tim makes
the most magnificent drawings. As Sir Tim, Tim
feels like he can do anything.
Knights run, climb, fly, and sometimes they
fall, but they always get up and try again. And
that's what Sir Tim does - especially when he
has his dog Dragon by his side.

"It's rare nowadays to find a polite kids. Now where did they go? This book is a good tool to help kids remember their manners, this one about lying. No good comes from not telling the truth and the adults know. And the knowledge should be passed on in a gentle manner, through this book, for example." - Jo Clairefontaine"This is an absolutely darling little book. I loved the illustrations and the clever mom who knows exactly what her son has been hiding. I loved the idea of secrets rumbling in his tummy. The interaction between the mom and little one are sweet, caring and believable. The lesson of honesty is clear and easy for a child to understand.
I would recommend this one for little ones under the age of 4." - Dore (Bookseller at Barnes and Noble)
