Eli had a knack for telling all sorts of lies until the day the Lie-O-Meter was delivered to his house. Suddenly, Eli can’t lie about leaving the blocks out on the floor, not brushing his teeth at bedtime, or eating one of the cupcakes for his sister’s class. Each time he tries, the Lie-O-Meter is quick to point out the truth.⁣
⁣
But one day, Eli decides to play ball in the house even though he knows he isn’t supposed to. A lamp gets knocked over and Eli quickly blames the dog. The Lie-O-Meter doesn’t catch the whopper, and the dog is sent outside for the night. At first, Eli feels relief at getting away with it, but then he feels guilty. And when Eli finally tells the truth, something really wonderful happens!⁣
