Would I Ever Lie to You?

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jack E. Davis. Cousin Ed alternately feeds the narrator lies ("your head is shrinking") and bizarre truths ("Aunt Mary has no teeth!"), so he doesn't know whether to believe Ed's declaration about "poisonous pie." Though the rhymed text's meter isn't exact, the winning premise is well paired with Davis's semi-grotesque illustrations. Readers will cheer when the narrator gets the better of his cousin.
