review 1: Doug-Dennis and the Flyaway Fib by Darren Farrell – I picked up this book because last week I read an early chapter book that had to do with exaggerating/lying and I wanted to find a partner book. I found one about a few characters that were bored and decided to go to the circus. Hilarious when one of the characters tells a fib and people were flying in outer space still telling the fibs… I loved how there was a “big bold truth” that helped resolve the issue. Thrilled with this find…
review 2: I have to admit that I am biased for two reasons: 1) I know Darren personally and he handed a signed book to my son at church. 2) I prefer children's books to have a moral, rather than purposeless fantasy. That being said, my 5y/o son loves this book. He can ... morerelate to it 100%, because even at age 4 when we read it together, he knew what a lie was and he knew he could be quite the liar! The resolve at the end of the book is nice, because it was humble and showed how we can be separated from humanity when we have character issues (such as lying).Overall, it's a tough concept to tackle, but was handled creatively. I found the illustrations to be very charming. Only thing is it does require some adult discussion with the child while going through this book. It is definitely not Dr. Seuss. less
