"This story is about a young girl that feels bad for lying to her mother. After she lies, she gets caught and then punished. After thinking about what she has done "Libby" promises never to lie again. Only tell the truth. The following day, Libby blurts "truths" out in front of everyone. These truths hurt her friends feelings but can't understand why. She thought that telling the truth would not hurt others. As the day progresses, Libby explains to her mother that her friends don't like her anymore. Her mother tells her that sometimes truths are said at the wrong time or in the wrong way. Libby didn't understand until it happened to her. Another person told her a truth about her horse that hurt Libby's feelings. After that Libby understood what her mother was talking about. The next day, Libby apoligized to all of her friends that she hurt and they all were friends again. The them of this story is interpersonal relations. Libby has difficulties with friends and school. This is a good story to use when discussing honesty, feelings and friendship."
"In The Honest-to-Goodness Truth, Patricia McKissack introduces readers to the lovable character of Libby Louise Sullivan. When we meet Libby, she is running out of her house to go meet a friend. Her mother catches her and asks her if she had fed the horse. Libby lies to her mother and is caught. Her mother explains the importance of ALWAYS telling the truth. As the story goes on, Libby has a hard time trying to figure out that while it is wrong to lie, that there is a right and wrong way to tell the truth to people. For example, Libby tells her neighbor that her garden looks like a jungle when she is asked if she likes it.
McKissack's story is definitely one that children will be able to relate to, as most of them have the same difficulty when learning to tell the truth. Even as I read the book, I found myself feeling Libby's frustration and confusion as she tries her very best to be a good person, only resulting in her friends getting mad at her. I like the fact that McKissack allowed Libby to learn her lesson, and by the end of the story she had patched things up with all of her friends."
"Libby can't wait to get to Ruthie Mae's house! When her mother stops her to ask if she's fed the horse, Ol' Boss, Libby lies and says, "yes". Libby's mother tells her to "speak the truth," and Libby admits that she hasn't fed the horse yet. Libby gets in trouble double, for not feeding the horse and not telling the truth. She decides from then on, that she is only going to tell the truth.
On Sunday when all of the children were outside of the church, everyone was admiring Ruthie Mae's new dress. Libby tells her she has a hole in her sock, which embarrasses Ruthie Mae in front of everyone. The next day, Libby tells the teacher that Willy hasn't done his geography homework. On her way home from school she tells Miz Tusselbury that her yard looks like a jungle. Libby can't understand why everyone is angry with her. Isn't it always best to tell the truth?"
"When young Libby gets caught in a lie to her mama, she declares she will only tell the truth from then on. By the middle of the next day, none of her friends are speaking to her! She's noted the hole in Ruthie Mae's sock, announced that Thomas didn't have lunch money and needed to borrow from the teacher, that Willie didn't do his geography homework, and Miz Tusselbury's yard looks like a jungle. With some guidance from her mama and a little taste of her own medicine, Libby eventually learns the right and wrong way to tell the truth. This is a lesson many children struggle with and would be a great class discussion. The illustrator, Giselle Potter, creates wonderfully expressive characters in a unique watercolor style. (Gr. K-3)"
