Finn and sister Simone are off to spend a few days with Grandma which means lots of treats and even staying up just past bedtime. The visit is so exciting that Finn over-bounces a ball and smashes Grandma’s clock! He could own up or…he could blame it on Simone. What happens when a little pink blob of a fib leads to another blob of a fib and another and another..? 
 
A series which is consistently good at using imaginative touches to externalise feelings and which enchants with its background monochromes swished over with a colourful popping palette.
