Knox the Honest Fox: A Rhyming Picture Book About Honesty, Telling Truth, and Making Things Right (Ages 4-8)

A clever fox. A magnificent tail. And a tangle of little lies. Knox can talk his way out of anything. A fib here, a tall tale there, just to look brave and grand. But Knox does not know the secret of his big bushy tail: every lie ties a knot in it. When he sneaks a taste of Papa's berry pie and it tumbles to the floor, one quick fib leads to another, and another, and he even lets his gentle friend Bramble take the blame. Knot by knot, Knox's beautiful tail grows into a heavy, tangled mess that drags behind him, until he can barely move for the weight of it all. It takes real courage, and a warm, patient Papa, for Knox to tell the whole truth, watch the knots come undone, and set things right with his friend. Told in warm, galloping rhyme made for reading aloud, Knox the Honest Fox is a tender story about honesty, courage, and making amends, for children ages 4 to 8. A "Let's Talk" page at the end helps grown-ups and kids carry the lesson off the page.
