Real knights are always honest. But when Sir Tim accidentally rips his cape, he tries to blame his friend Max. And when Mom leaves a strawberry shortcake on the table, he sneaks a bite. Keeping all these secrets begins to give Sir Tim a bellyache . . . A sweet and recognizable book about keeping secrets. For honest knights ages 4 and up.
Felt a little moralizing and unpolished, but it would be a good read through to talk about secrets and honesty. I did think it was cute that the mom listened for his belly for "secrets bubbling" up when he had a tummy ache from lying. It does a good job describing the sick feeling in your stomach you get when you don't tell the truth, and how telling the truth makes you feel better.
