(Grades 2-6) A storm is brewing... Whenever Levi doesn't like the truth, he kinda, sorta makes up other stuff to say. One day his mother explains to him that telling lies will damage the trust of his friends and make him very sad.

"Whenever you tell a lie, your inside sun goes away. Then a lying cloud forms, and glooms up your day. Each time you tell a lie, another cloud starts to form, and before you can stop it from happening, your insides start to storm."

This book is a great resource to help children understand not only the consequences of telling a lie, but also how one lie can...

Veteran author Julia Cook offers another funny but educational tale in her next book in the award-winning Building Relationships series. Table Talk is told from the perspective of the Dinner Table, who sees it as her job to explain proper table etiquette to the children who sit around her. Parents and educators of K-6 students will get a real kick out of Table's advice, guidance, and how-tos.
