I watched a lady who was reading this on youtube. she went by grandma something. watched with students. pretty cheesy. but it was funny. i like the monster drawings. im a little embarrassed to be posting this as a book i've read. my books that im reading are devolving for sure. i need to read something real. well i am.. those just take awhile to finish though.

This book is so cute but at the same time it really shows the dangers of lying. It shows how lies get bigger and bigger and it's never just one lie. This book does have a scripture at the end but does not have any other spiritual references.

After Max tries to lie to his mom in order to watch a scary movies, things end up getting worse and worse for Max. He tries to stay calm and collected but soon realizes after lying to his mother and becoming frightened of the film, he understands the importance of telling the truth and that his mother was only watching out for him.
