lattelibrarian's review against another edition
4.0
Libby’s mom told her to privilege the truth, and so Libby does. Unfortunately, she tells the truth a little too loudly and a little too often and she doesn’t know why her friends don’t want to be around her anymore. Knowing when to tell the truth is a nuanced lesson that this book teaches very well through a variation of illustrative design and narrative. This book is therefore suitable for both public and school library settings, in that it’s suitable for personal reading and for sharing out loud. Perfect for kids who are learning the distinctions of new social settings and for those who enjoy realism. Great for grades 2-4.

A very authentic story about a girl who gets caught in a lie and vows to tell the truth from then on, not realizing what the consequences of her truth-telling might be. This book could spark some great discussion with elementary students about tattling, lying, and different ways to be honest with people.
