Reflection:
       The cover picture use a lot of square, and use those square to make words, which looks like video game. It is the first point attract me. Second point is the typesetting, it is really cute to use picture in sentences.

       In fact, I don't believe kid will be so clever after the ignore form their parents. But it is a good story to teach children not to lie.
