9Mom's Choice Award for Children's Picture Books (Gold)

Gelett Burgess Children's Book Honor Winner

Eli knows the difference between pretending and the real facts. Pretending is what he does when he orbits the earth with Duffy, and the real facts are what actually happen. Sometimes in REAL life, keeping to the facts is hard for Eli. Eli has a knack for telling fibs and an occasional whopper. But when Eli's dog Duffy gets banished to the backyard, Eli learns at least one reason for telling the truth!

While it can be common for kids to stretch the truth, toss out fibs, or tell big whoppers, why does this frustrate parents so much?

It's helpful for parents to understand how kids experience a lie. Kids don't really believe they are lying. Instead, the fact-stretching can be a convenient way to get out of trouble or to protect someone else from being punished. Telling lies may be a way your child can safeguard friendships. Or stretching the truth might only be a bit of fun.

Enjoy this story with your children. and as they see the consequence of Eli's fibs, they might understand the benefits of sticking to the truth. And to help you get the facts straight on fibs, lies, big lies, and whoppers, included is a Note to Parents by Mary Lamia, PhD, a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst who works with adults, adolescents, and preteens.
