    I have to practice my English, soo here I am

  • Nicola

    Miss 7 enjoyed reading this and liked that some of the pictures included speech bubbles.

    Miss 7 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

    💕 the illustrations

  • Sely

    A great story to tell to my students.

  • Amber

    This book did not disappoint. It is a level 3 easy reader, and my kindergartener was able to read it with little assistance. I love that this story reminds children to be honest!

  • Lucy Reid-Pudalik

    My son loved the moral behind this story.

  • Cora Baker

    I love it because it's the story my papaw told me.

  • Shelly Koressel

    This is a good boy just like the fable. It ends a little quick but you still get the point. Good to teach little ones not to tell that little white lie cause it might catch up with you. Good for 1st grade down to preschool age.

  • Brittany Lockard

    This is just like the story that has been told for many years. The boy lies about there being trouble and when there is actually something troubling happening, no one believes him. Good resource for talking about lying and be trustworthy of other people.

  • Eastofoz

    Clear, easy to follow, good illustrations and engaging. The ending is a little fast but there's an explanation at the end about Aesop's fable which was a good addition.
