Description

The Honest-To-Goodness Truth"Tell the truth and shame the devil," Libby's mama has told her. So whatever is Libby doing wrong? Ever since she started telling only the truth, the whole world seems to be mad at her. First it's her best friend, Ruthie Mae, who gets upset when Libby tells all their friends that Ruthie Mae has a hole in her sock. Then Willie gives her an ugly look when she tells the teacher he hasn't done his homework. It seems that telling the truth isn't always so

"Tell the truth and shame the devil," Libby's mama has told her. So whatever is Libby doing wrong? Ever since she started telling only the truth, the whole world seems to be mad at her. First it's her best friend, Ruthie Mae, who gets upset when Libby tells all their friends that Ruthie Mae has a hole in her sock. Then Willie gives her an ugly look when she tells the teacher he hasn't done his homework. It seems that telling the truth isn't always so simple.
Children will sympathize with Libby as she struggles to figure out that even though it's always wrong to tell a lie, there's a right and a wrong way to tell the truth. Giselle Potter's naively stubborn illustrations perfectly capture this humorous and poignant story by award-winning author Patricia C. McKissack.

Good protection, water resistant
Size: Pack of 1
I love their products. This is no exception. Used it recently in the Caribbean and Florida. Did a great job of protecting my lips and also seemed to have some resistance to washing off when I was swimming or snorkeling.

This lip balm has worked well for me overall
Size: Pack of 1
This lip balm has worked well for me overall. It does what I want from an SPF lip balm and I have not had any major complaints using it. The only minor downside is that it is a little soft, so when you first start using a tube you may notice a few small chunks on your lips. That has not been a big enough issue to bother me much, but it is worth mentioning. Aside from that, it has been a good product and I would keep using it.
