-A 1967 Caldecott winner
Sam, a fisherman's daughter, utilizes her vivid imagination to create stories. Only Thomas, her neighbor, believes her stories and asks her each day to see her baby kangaroo. Each day she sends him a wild goose-chase to search for the baby kangaroo. When one day she sends Thomas to the rocks near the lighthouse to find her baby kangaroo and a storm arrives, she realizes how detrimental her lying is.
Considerations/points to discuss: lying, Sam's mother is dead, Sam sends Thomas into a perilous situation, the reader thinks Sam's cat, Bangs, is dead for a short bit
-Borrowed from the library.
