"""The vibrant, beautiful watercolor paintings enhance this important lesson for young children about making friends and not telling lies.""-- ""OmniLibros"" ""The familiar characters taking on an unusual topic make this a book to consider anywhere this series is popular.""-- ""School Library Journal"" ""This is a universal story about friendship with a lesson somewhat like that of ""The Boy Who Cried Wolf."" The story is a good one on its own, but the colorful, sparkly illustrations make it even better.""-- ""Midwest Book Review"" ""It is a book that deserves a place in every library.""--Anne Bradley ""Just Imagine"""
