Hey Everyone!

I have compiled a list of books which I feel like are fabulous books for teaching honesty to children.  I am eager to share my ideas as well as hear yours about which book you would add to the list.  I am still on the search for books for older children….if you have any you feel would be worth adding to the list, let me know or leave it in a comment below.  Happy reading!

The Big Fib

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

The Empty Pot – Demi

The Berenstain Bears and the Truth

The Berenstain Bears and the Excuse Note

Mr. Peabody’s Apples – Madonna

The Emperor’s New Clothes

Sniffles – Stephen Cosgrove

Horton Hatches an Egg – Dr. Seuss

The Red Racer – Audrey Wood

Jamaica’s Find

The Honest to Goodness Truth – Patricia McKissack

Ruthie and the (not so) Teeny Tiny Lie

Pedrito’s Day

Edward Fudwupper Fibbed Big

Pinky Promise: A Book about Telling the Truth

Don’t Tell a Whopper on Fridays!:  the Children’s Truth-Control Book

I’m Telling the Truth: A First Look at Honesty

A Big Fat Enormous Lie

My Big Lie – Bill Cosby

Sam Tells Stories

Honesty – Brite music (this is a book/CD combo)

Alexander’s Amazing Adventures – Honesty (also a book/CD combo)

Just a little sidenote….I love both Brite music and Alexander’s Amazing Adventures!  They are great for the car and also for bedtime.  I pop the CD in when my kids are falling asleep several times a week.  What a great way for them to wind down!  I love that they are falling asleep while thinking about a value rather than hearing me say, “Go to sleep,” over and over. Good luck everyone!  Can’t wait to see what you add to my list!
