Young Tim is telling the truth when he reports that a ninja ate the last slice of cake and a giant squid devoured his book bag -- and he still gets punished! So, Tim takes the fall for the pirate who guzzles all the tea and the sunburned crocodile who breaks the TV antenna...but he ends up doing extra chores for lying, too. Then, Tim has a stroke of genius that wins his parent's apologies and results in a great party. With quirky, drily hilarious cartoon illustrations, this "cheerful, lightly subversive" (Booklist) twist on an old folk tale is tons of fun. Picture books newsletter July 2015
