Truthy Ruthy is an adorable character who has a big problem. She is only five years old and doesn't have money or the ability to go Christmas shopping on her own. One night she has a series of dreams that reveal three possible solutions: " The Disappointment;" "The Creation," and "The Initiative." The reader is invited to investigate each and decide which way to best end the story. Not only does this book present possible solutions, but it allows the child to think carefully about ways to solve a problem. This book has the potential to appeal to younger and older children, but the illustrations are simple and more appropriate for the younger child.
