The Boy Who Cried Ninja

(3) K-3 Every time his parents accuse him of wrongdoing, Tim blames a ninja (or an astronaut or a giant squid)--but he's telling the truth. He tries lying--accepting the blame--but he still gets in trouble. What's a kid to do? Latimer's solution is sublime, and his clean-lined illustrations make the story's mayhem navigable.
