I love Betty Bunny. I really, really do. However, I am extremely thankful that she isn't my 'little handful.' All in all, this third book in the Betty Bunny series was lovely. Perhaps not as lovely as the original "Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake," but it was still well done.

A really preachy book, but it gets two stars because I liked the older teenage brother Bill and his snarky comments.

Betty Bunny just cannot stop lying. Despite her family encouraging her to tell the truth and reminding her that making mistakes is normal, she still struggles. It's not until her brother admits to his ow wrongdoing that Betty can finally come clean.
This story was very sweet and a wonderful way to explain the dangers of lying to young children!

Not as cute as Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake, but Betty Bunny is back. Betty Bunny breaks a lamp but she doesn't want to get in trouble for it so she tells her mother the Tooth Fairy did it. Betty Bunny decides that lying is the best! When her families blames her for something she didn't do, she figures out that maybe lying isn't as fun as she thought.

This book tries to orchestrate a situation that illustrates the complications of lying, and the merits of telling the truth, in a way that takes into account the potentially complicated emotions and motives of young children.
In my opinion, it misses the mark and ends up with a muddy and confusing object lesson, with not quite enough story that you can appreciate it for anything else.

Perfect read-aloud for K-2. They (and I) were laughing so much I could barely finish the book. Please write more!
Betty is a hilarious character in the tradition of Olivia the pig and Junie B. Jones.- and kids really get the humor. The writing makes them feel like they are "in on" the humor.

I’m a Betty Bunny fan, since I enjoy protagonists in children’s books who have a feel of being a real kid. Betty Bunny in this third book in the series breaks a lamp when her siblings refuse to play with her. When she is asked about it, she blames it on the Tooth Fairy. Betty Bunny thinks this works so very well that she’s surprised it hadn’t occurred to her to try it before. But things quickly unravel when her mother asks if she’s telling the truth. Betty admits to telling an “honest lie” and is sent to her room. Later, when a vase is broken, everyone in the family automatically blames Betty Bunny, but she really didn’t do it this time!
Betty Bunny is precocious for a four year old. I enjoy the way that Kaplan explains what Betty is thinking about her new ideas. Also, the family dynamics ring very honest with older siblings unwilling to play but all too willing to offer witty advice.
Jorisch’s illustrations have a great modern vibe to them. The bunny family is active and they dynamic lives appear clearly on the page. This has the trademark style of the earlier books with zingy writing and a naughty but quite charming little bunny at the center.
Fans of the earlier books in the series will find more to love here. This series is not for every reader or family as some will find the naughtiness less funny and more problematic. Appropriate for ages 4-6.
