Parent and Teacher guide

Parents are always trying to encourage children to tell the truth, but a lot of times, kids may resort to a fib or “white lie” to avoid the consequences of their actions. This story shows how sometimes a small lie coupled with some imagination can get out of control. After a few colorful attempts at explaining what happened to her food, Jude finally tells the truth. She realizes that there are consequences for her actions and that she will have to wait until the next day to get her ice cream. Kids come to the conclusion that telling the truth from the beginning may be the best solution all around
