Disney Morty Tells the Truth

Morty tells one small lie about a library book and then watches it spiral into something much bigger — a relatable arc for any preschooler who has tested the waters with a fib. The story uses Mickey Mouse's nephew as the protagonist, which gives young readers an immediate connection, and Jerrod Maruyama's retro-Disney illustrations give the whole thing a warm, charming look that stands out from standard picture books. The moral is clear without being heavy-handed: telling the truth brings relief, not trouble. Twenty-five stickers extend the fun after the last page. The formal critical reception is thin — this is assessed mainly from retail descriptions and parent reviews — and at 30 pages the story is slim. But as a gentle, character-building read for toddlers and preschoolers, it does exactly what it sets out to do.
