Do you know some kids who like to tell tall tales? Fish Stories, by Kyla Steinkraus, is the book for them! It’s the first day back from summer vacation and second grader Scott listens as his friends tell all about their exciting summer adventures. Scott feels left out because he didn’t go anywhere over the summer. His parents had to work. He fibs and tells the class about a gigantic fish he caught. Soon Scott feels ashamed that he lied to his friends. In the end, Scott learns a valuable lesson about how friends forgive each other and are honest with each other.

This Little Birdie Leveled Reader is perfect for second and third graders. You can use this book to talk about friendship, honesty, and trust. Kids will love the bright illustrations and really relate to Scott’s predicament.
