At the circus, sheep Doug-Dennis lies about eating his friend's popcorn and soon finds himself whisked away high in the sky where he meets other fibbers with "their still-growing fibs": "That grape juice spilled itself"; "Seriously, the dog ate my homework." Squeezing in a multitude of visual and textual gags makes for some busy layouts, but the book's witty silliness never grows tiresome.
