(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ard Hoyt. Although the text has an old-timey tone, this is a contemporary story about a little girl who learns that always telling the truth can hurt another person's feelings--sometimes you have to think before you speak. Although the message is obvious, it's nice to see Wisteria apologize to her friend and restore good will between them. The washed-out-looking illustrations convey emotion well.
