From Booklist:

A character primer for the very young, this installment in Mayer's Citizenship series, part of the publisher's Acorn line of books for the youngest readers, explains the sometimes slippery concept of honesty and its practice in everyday situations. Simple statements explain the various ways to behave honestly ("When you return something that isn't yours, you are being honest"), while accompanying pairs of simple line drawings depict an ethical dilemma that children will easily recognize, such as accidentally breaking a friend's toy, receiving more than one's fair share of treats, or confiding one's true feelings. Depicting a refreshingly diverse mix of children in gentle, expressive scenes, drawn in a style reminiscent of Quentin Blake's, this title makes an excellent starting point for group discussions about good citizenship. The final pages ask young listeners to list ways they can be honest in their own lives and to interpret one final illustration. A brief visual glossary and index are appended. McKulski, Kristen
