Two very good friends (a sheep and an elephant) go to the circus; one eats the other's popcorn and lies about it. That one little fib whisks Doug-Dennis into space where he is surrounded by many other liars. How can he set this right? Farrell takes the serious subject of lying into an absurd place with two wacky characters and many examples of the lies people tell. The silliness gives opportunity for serious thought without preaching. The pen and ink and digitally created illustrations work well with the text and the conversational cartoon balloons. This book will be enjoyed by children and liars of all ages. Bridget Harvey
