PS
Fiona forgets that she's Felix's Birthday Elf at school, and instead of being honest, she makes up stories and blames others for the lack of cupcakes. Everything works out neatly, and the lessons about lying, friendship, and self-control are effectively conveyed through engaging dialogue and word choice. Colorful, friendly animals fill the pages, and the thought-balloon vignettes of Fiona's lies add humor.
