32 pp. | Scholastic/Orchard | November, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-439-29311-1 $$16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joseph Daniel Fiedler. Juan Verdades cannot tell a lie. So convinced is his employer of Juan's honesty that he wagers his entire ranch that a neighbor cannot trick Juan into lying. Juan's cleverness saves his employer's ranch, and in the process wins him the hand of the neighbor's beautiful daughter. Full-page illustrations add a Southwestern charm to this Hispanic folktale.
