The Berenstain Bears and the Truth

Be aware of the never books which are religious and archaic at best.This one however is written by the original author, and has a nice morale to it. There's no shaming in the book, and it has a nicely written story and old style pictures

This story is easy to follow for my 3 year old daughter to learn what honesty is.We tried 'honesty counts' another book in the range, but found it confusing for a child of her age.

The trouble with a lie is "No matter how hard you wish, no matter how hard you try, you can't make truth, out of a lie". Lovely story suitable for all children 4-5 years or older who can understand the difference and the implications of not telling the truth. If only all disasters could be fixed with a bit of glue!

This is a brilliant book for tackling truth telling, both my daughters (4 & 5) identified with the bears and could see that mummy bear was very sad that her children had not told the truth. I think that as they get older get the more they will understand the breaking of trust element at the end of the book.

My 6y/o loves this series
