"Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire" tells a meaningful story which focuses on honesty truly being the best policy. Following the antics of Zoe Bent and her attempts of gaining friends and notoriety through whimsical dishonesty, this children's novel contains age appropriate language which attempts to showcase the importance of being yourself through truthfulness. Although geared towards the older spectrum of young readers, Gordon Korman's long toothed tale would serve as a suitable tool when blending lessons with morals. ( )

This was a nice short novel that teaches children it isn't good to lie, because than people won’t know when to believe you. It's wonderful to see someone with such a large imagination, but stretching the truth too much and constantly making up stories classifies you as a liar. ( )

Zoe Bent deems herself nobody special in a world of somebodies. Zoe tries to be special by making up lies, but her lies are always so far-fetched that no one ever believes her crazy stories. She isn't even believed when she honestly does tell the truth since she is notorious for lying. Once a good friend shows her that her wild imagination is what makes her special, she realizes that she doesn't have to lie to be someone special.
Gordon Korman did an excellent job with the book, but the ending seemed to be cut short. This book teaches a great lesson: you just have to be yourself in order for people to like you. ( )

A humorous little story about a young girl with low self-esteem and an overactive imagination which fuels one tall tale after another. Children will enjoy reading about Zoe's nuclear toilet, the eagle's nest made from a wok, and her many wild antics - all resulting from an over-active imagination. This first novel works well as both a class read-aloud or as a literature circle selection. As Zoe Bent would say... "Check it out!" ( )
