This bracing story weaves warmth and excitement into a memorable celebration of friendship."--Booklist, STARRED review "Lies creates a charming, heartwarming story of friendship, goodwill, and perseverance...A beautifully illustrated and gratifying story of woodland-creature comradeship and determination."--Kirkus "A humorous, heartwarming work."--School Library Journal
