Loose Lips Sink Ships

by Hilary Lawrence

A boastful messenger pigeon trusted with a top-secret message from the king: “I don’t mean to gloat, and I don’t mean to boast, But the king trusted me with his ‘secret post.” He said, “Guard this message, whatever the cost. It’ll be pigeon for tea if this message is lost!”

Set in a time when pigeons delivered important messages, the plot thickens as the pigeon’s gossiping reveals the king’s secret to none other than Blackbeard’s pirate gang. This whimsical adventure teaches young readers about the consequences of their actions and the importance of making wise decisions.

“Loose Lips Sink Ships” is an entertaining and humorous tale filled with unexpected twists and delightful illustrations. Its engaging narrative and uplifting message make it a perfect bedtime story and a top choice for reading aloud. The book not only entertains but also imparts a valuable life lesson, making it a meaningful addition to any child’s library.

Being a mother of three children Hilary Lawrence understands what an important part strong core values and beliefs have in our children's development. In todays world having a strong north is essential!

Lessons which children learn from loved ones and from their education enrich, teach and give direction not only in the early years of development, but all through life.

Lawrence’s books are based on famous proverbs which have been part of British culture for hundreds of years. Too many times in history lessons similar to these have been lost and not successfully passed through the generations. Her books remind us of these sayings and bring them to life in beautifully illustrated rhyming stories which appeal to young children. In doing so she hopes to protect them for generations to come.

Lawrence hopes these books and sayings resonate with you and that you enjoy sharing their lessons with your children too.
