 Other Books in The Billy Growing Up
Series.
All the Billy books are available as paperback books, audio
books, eBooks for Kindle and other readers, and in hardback
format with colour images. There are 8 books in the series, plus
a colouring book. Each book has its own free activity book like
this one. The other titles are:

Book 2 - Billy And Ant Fall Out

False pride can make you feel so important that you would
rather do something wrong than admit you have made a
mistake. In this story, Billy says something nasty to Ant and
they row. Ant goes away and makes a new friend, leaving Billy
feeling angry and abandoned. His pride will not let him
apologise to his best friend until things get out of hand.

Book 3 - Billy Is Nasty To Ant

Jealousy only really hurts the person who feels it. It is useful to
help children accept other people’s successes without them
feeling vulnerable. When Ant wins a school prize, Billy can’t stop
himself saying horrible things. Rather than being pleased for
Ant, he is envious and wishes he had won instead.

Book 4 - Billy And Ant Lie

Lying is very common. It’s wrong, but it’s common. Lies are told
for a number of different reasons, but one of the most frequent
is to avoid trouble. While cycling to school, Billy and Ant mess
around and lie about getting a flat tyre to cover up their
lateness. The arrival of the police at school regarding a serious
crime committed earlier that day means their lie puts them in a
very difficult position.

17 | P a g e
Book 5 - Billy Helps Max
Stealing is taking something without permission or payment.
Children may steal for a dare, or because they want something
and have no money, or as a way of getting attention. Stealing
shows a lack of self-control. Max sees some go-faster stripes for
her bike. She has to have them, but her birthday is ages away.
She eventually gives in to temptation.

Book 6 - Billy Saves The Day

Children need belief in themselves and their abilities, but having
an inflated ego can be detrimental. Lack of self-belief holds
them back, but overpraising leads to unrealistic expectations.
Billy fails to audition for the lead role in the school play, as he is
convinced he is not good enough.

Book 7- Billy Wants It All

The value of money is one of the most important subjects for
children to learn and carry with them into adulthood, yet it is
one of the least-taught subjects. Billy and Ant want
skateboards, but soon realise a reasonable one will cost a
significant amount of money. How will they get the amount they
need?

Book 8 - Billy Knows A Secret

If something has to be kept a secret, there must be a reason. It
is usually to protect yourself or someone else. This story
explores the issues of secret-keeping by Billy and Ant, and the
consequences that arise. For children, the importance of finding
a responsible adult with whom they can confide in and share
their concerns is a significant life lesson.
