Gullible's Troubles

Poor little Gullible visits his relatives who continuously invent stories to occupy his time or get him out of their hair or scare him... Eventually sweet little Gullible has the last laugh. The illustrations are charming and the story is original - it's one my son requests often.

Great children's book!

My 4 and 6-yr olds love this book, and I love reading it to them! After borrowing it from the library several times I finally decided to go ahead and get our own copy. It's just really clever writing, the ending is great!

A terrific story with great illustrations.

This is a wonderful story, with cute illustrations. The book helps the reader to understand why lying, even in a fun way, is not right. The story of Gullible is enchanting and the ending is unexpected and delightful. I enjoyed it as much as my seven year old. Read and enjoy it!
