Young Ruthy had developed a bad habit of lying to her parents and refusing to take responsibility for her actions. Instead of responding by yelling and screaming or with a spanking, Ruthy's dad used a bit of psychology to turn the tables on Ruthy and show her why lying had consequences.Would dad's approach work with Ruthy? That's the key question in this story by Sari Barel that teaches a valuable lesson about why being honest and truthful is the best policy for both kids and grownups. It's a short, simple story that should hold a kid's attention long enough to make the point. The colorful, cartoon-like illustrations complement the text nicely.
