In this delightful, thoroughly entertaining picture book about the importance--and difficulty--of telling the truth, the queen' s trusty servant, a pangolin, breaks the royal swing and doesn' t know what to tell her!Pangolin is enjoying himself on the royal swing in the bright summer sunshine when suddenly, the ropes break and--OW!--he falls to the ground. What will I tell the queen? ! Pangolin worries. He races to the stables to ask his friend Badger. "Tell her the musicians needed the swing' s rope for their lutes!" the stablemaster advises. Fox, the castle guard, has a different idea- "Might you say that the King needed to repair his royal jump rope? " Pug, Cat, and Goose all have suggestions, too. But which story will Pangolin tell the queen? ! Here is a charming picture book, full of delightful animal friends, about finding the courage to be honest with those around you--and with yourself.
"A noble look at the courage needed for honesty. " -Kirkus Reviews
