Sometimes parents find themselves stretching the truth in order to get their kids to listen or do something. Though there are common examples, Brett Wagner has added some new ones to the mix in Lies We Tell Our Kids.

I first thought the book was going to include more of the fibs I heard growing up, but I found out that these are more satirical in nature. A few of them were humorous, but most of them just weren’t funny to me. I did like the pictures that illustrated each entry.

This book may appeal more to other people, but I didn’t find it that funny.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
