When I was a little girl, my parents would read me Berenstain Bears books all the time. One in particular that stuck out to me was “The Berenstain Bears and the Truth.” In the story, Brother and Sister Bear accidentally break Mama’s lamp. But, instead of telling the truth, they tell a small lie which, throughout the story, escalates into such a big lie that the children can barely keep up with it. However, Papa helps them make everything right with Mama in the end. The theme that has always stuck with me from this book is that it is best to tell the truth- no matter how it immediately affects you- because it will turn out better in the end.
