''Edwurd Fudwupper Fibbed Big'', written by cartoonist Berkeley Breathed, is one of the most useful children's books to have been written for teaching children the values of life in a fun-filled manner.

''The Berenstain Bears And The Truth'' by Jan Berenstain is the second children's book in this category, which has emerged as a key feature of any home where there are small children. This book also uses lots of illustrations and expressions to tell a story where temptation and lies have adverse impacts on one's life.

''Ruthie And The (Not So) Teeny Tiny Lie'' by Laura Rankin is the third book in this category, which uses illustrations and creative brushstrokes to narrate the story. The book narrates a story where a young fox finds a camera on the ground and claims it to be hers.
