LIARBIRD GEORGES of Dubai

Lyrebirds love to lie. It is as if they are born to lie, I mean it’s right there in their name. In fact they lie from the moment they hatch. And the Liarbird in this story has got lying down to a fine art. He can make all sorts of sounds from the buzz of a chainsaw to the grunt of a koala. He can defy the laws of gravity and can fly you to Mars (if you’re willing to pay $10). He can even fight off fifteen foxes…well at least he thinks he can. But when one fox turns up, Liarbird finds himself in a whole world of bother and his forest friends are too wrapped up in his lies to recognise he needs help. After a near-death encounter, Liarbird decides that it might be better to tell the truth instead. But it turns out that telling the truth is just as problematic as lying!
