A Tale About Telling the Truth

Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Monkey on His Back is a story just for kids that explains the reasons why people lie, why they shouldn't, and how they can go about making good choices.  Howard B. Wigglebottom comes in a series of educational and fun books for young kids.  If you are new to Howard B.

I just love the wonderful song featured on The We Do Listen Foundation website for this particular book. It's titled "Telling the Truth is Cool" and it has sing along screen lyrics that emphasize the importance of being honest. Listen to it for free here! It's a great follow up after reading this story, which you can get the free animated version online here, or by purchasing your own hardcover copy here. Other great stories in the Howard B.

 I had the wonderful opportunity to once again review a Howard B. Wigglebottom story, this time particularly Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Monkey on His Back with my seven year old twin girls!  The artwork in this book is very colorful and enjoyable.  The girls and I both loved soaking in all the pictures as we read along!  I won't give away too much, but the story involves Howard lying to his teacher thinking he is protecting his friend.  Other events happen along the way, but eventually by the end of the story Howard learns that honesty really is the best policy!  I'm a total fan of books that I can read with my kids and discuss afterwards important subjects just like this book contains.  In fact, the girls and I had a wonderful discussion about why lying isn't okay after reading this book.  I encourage you to check out the great line of Wigglebottom books.  They are fantastic!
