Have you ever been tempted to do something you were specifically told what to do yet did it anyway? After you did, did you opt to tell the truth or lie to stay out of trouble?

In Ruthy’s case, she decided to lie. Her mom and dad both told her that lying wasn’t a good thing to do. Yet, she continued to do so.

Truthy Ruthy comes up with a creative approach in how to deal with a child who is pathological in not telling the truth. When the alternate method was first presented, my jaw dropped.

As I continued to read, I began laughing as well as smiling. I don’t want to give a whole lot away. Just think: reverse psychology. Due to the smarts of dear old Dad, Ruthy switched from a Little Lass of Lying to a Small Supporter of Saying the Truth.

By the end of the book, I was applauding the author ‘s approach to incorporating the important lesson of telling the truth.

I really like the colors used in the book. All of them serve to have a calming effect: yellow, blue, and orange, especially. The way the illustrator sketched Ruthy’s facial expressions were priceless! In particular when Operation Reverse Psychology was activated: I could not stop laughing.

I grant Truthy Ruthy a 4.5 out of 5 Stars. I could really tell by the style of this work that the author is very passionate and dedicated to provide positive, alternate learning methods to teach young children valuable life lessons. This zeal can definitely serve not just as a winner to children but also to parents.

This is an appealing book about finding solutions and allowing children the freedom of choice. Truthy Ruthy doesn't have any money because she's only 5. She wants to surprise her family with Christmas gifts. Experiencing a series of 3 dreams and left with a surprise box from Santa, children will learn to be creative, like making their own jewelry. Perhaps taking the initiative to discover a different approach in being creative, or experiencing a narrow perspective of being very disappointed. The 3 separate stories are the same but focus on a birthday surprise. Overall, there are many simple illustrations for the young people to see and interaction for older children. Many lessons to be learned.… (mais)

Ruthy had picked up a bad habit of lying to her parents and not following the rules. Her dad decided to teach Ruthy the importance of telling the truth. Her dad told her that from that point on it was okay to not follow the rules or tell the truth. Ruthy was very happy. He promises to buy her treats and play with her then does neither. Ruthy learns how important it is to always tell the truth.
