What People Are Saying About Tessa's Tall Tales
"Jamie S. writes:This was such a cute story about the importance of telling the truth instead of making stories up to sound like the truth! I have two girls of my own and have taught preschool for 27 years! I had many children come to mind that I was reminded of while reading this cute book!"
Jamie S.
“Heidi H. says this is such a sweet book about a lesson hard to explain to kids at times. Well done Miss Dodds! Her son and former student of Ms. Dodds, Jake, says — “This book is about respect, telling lies and always telling the truth.””
Heidi H.
“I love this book and I love Carolyn Joyce Dodds for writing it!!”
Juliet H.
“Pam G. writes: I just thought it was very well written and I love the illustrations. It was tactfully and subtly sending a message about what is creating a story to share and what is going overboard where it turns into a lie. It was a social story and we need more of it with our young people. That's where it starts, that's where manners, compassion, sympathy empathy all starts— in the very young. Round of applause! ”
