Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Teach Your Dragon to Stop Lying
Steve Herman · 2018
68/100
👎 Skip It
Herman's dragon series has earned its place in the social-emotional learning toolkit for early childhood, and this entry on honesty tackles a virtue that genuinely matters to young kids. It's purely didactic — there's no real story to speak of beyond delivering the lesson — and parents who've read a few in the series will find the formula familiar. Fine for its purpose in a classroom or as a bedtime conversation starter, but not a book to seek out for its own sake.
