A children's picturebook about learning to interact positively with one's peers

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire! is a children's picturebook about learning to interact positively with one's peers. Young Alex is the new boy in first grade; he tries to gain attention by boasting about his possessions, but his attempts backfire and the other first graders shun him. On the day of the class holiday party, Alex helps out Jim, and makes his first friend at school. Alex learns that boasting is not the way to make friends; the best thing to do is to be a friend worth having. The gentle color illustrations of children learning and playing together are the perfect complement to this excellent gift book, also suitable as an addition to public library collections.
