The Big Fib

32 pp. | Shadow | June, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-60641-671-6 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Casey Nelson. After she breaks the cookie jar while trying to sneak a treat, a girl tells her dubious mom an elaborate whopper. The rhymes have adequate punch when not contorted with preachiness ("I've learned a big lesson about fibbing today. / I will never tell lies--it's the truth I will say!"). Likewise, the illustrations have verve, if not always grace.
Reviewer: Nell Beram
