Flo the Lyin' Fly (Max Lucado's Hermie & Friends)

By Max Lucado and Troy Schmidt

Book Overview

Telling the truth is always the best, a lesson parents are eager to teach young ones. Welcome, Flo, the Lyin' Fly, to Hermie's delightful world. Like the little boy who cried "wolf," Flo thinks it's fun to tell stories that are not true. When her friends discover they can't trust her, they refuse to believe her when there's real trouble. Drawing from Proverbs 19:5, which says no one gets away with a lie, Flo the Lyin' Fly sets out to teach children, through incredibly humorous situations the importance of telling the truth no matter what the circumstance.

Customer Reviews

Max Lucado is one of the premier Christian Authors!

This book along with "Hermie" and "You are Special" are great books for children! My 2 year old loves this one and so do my 8 and 10 yr olds. Lucado seems to have a way to write any book directly at the audience and it seems like the audience is always you. I love Lucado's adult books and "you are Special" was so great I had to buy this one. It has been carried around, droppped, dragged and dunked, it is still readable and gets read atleast once a day, upon request!

God teaches Flo the importance of telling the truth, and once she learns her lesson she must rebuild her shattered reputation with time, patience, and hard work.
