4.0 out of 5 stars Jacob's Monkey, October 7, 2009

By	lady of fortune (humble, tx USA) - See all my reviews

This was a very well told story of a little boy who invents the tale of having a monkey and then has to figure out what to do when the teacher wants them all to bring their pets on pet day. It's so believable that the whole time I could just see my 7 year old doing exactly something like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully Entertaining, October 6, 2009

By	Amy Weaver "www.weaverinspirations.com" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found Jacob's Monkey to be a wonderful read with delightful humor and a realistic scenario all wrapped up in a lesson of morality! The book makes its point about dishonesty while detailing the web little Jacob has wound himself up into. My children and I laughed all the way to the end and look forward to the next publication by Kristi Sayles!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT LESSON LEARNED!, September 30, 2009

By	Novelist (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

JACOB'S MONKEY: THE TROUBLE WITH LYING is a book that really hits at the heart of the matter about lying to get attention. Is there a child alive who has not bent the truth a bit in order to be a class star? If there is, I'd like to meet that child. If your own child has issues around truth-telling, this delightful morality tale is for you.
