This beautifully illustrated picture book tells the story of a little girl who breaks her mother s cookie jar. But rather than tell the truth, she begins with a tiny lie that quickly spirals out of control. In the end she realizes it is always better to tell the truth and face the consequences than to deal with a fib that keeps getting bigger and bigger . . . What happened in here? Mom s face was white. What were you doing? And are you all right? I didn t do it. I thought I was sly. And that was the start of my gigantic lie.

It broke into pieces all over your floor. I m sure with some glue it will look like before.
