Why read it?
1 author picked Ruthie and the (Not So) Teeny Tiny Lie as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I can truthfully say that I felt an immediate sense of connection with sweet little Ruthie and how she felt after she lied. When I was in third grade, I cheated on a test. I felt awful for the rest of the day—until I told my mama what I had done. She took me right back to the school to tell the teacher.

From Donna's list on honesty.
