Thank you to Gloo Books and NetGalley for an e-ARC of this title to read and review. This is a really fun concept that's beautifully executed with captivating and colorful illustrations. The story follows the allegory of a fib: that once you start telling lies, you have to keep telling more to keep up. And even little fibs can pile on and become one big monstrous lie until you finally dip out and confess to the truth. This story brings that idea to life with a literal fuzzy pocket-sized monster, who grows out of control with every new fabrication of his origin story. Very small kids may be afraid of his scary teeth and big claws, but I think many readers will be able to see themselves in our main character, Pepe. He makes up stories to always have the best answer to tell, but he has to see the problems with making up falsehoods eventually!
