Overview

"It is summer vacation and the triplets are playing outside in their treehouse that overlooks their parent's fruit and vegetable garden. Their mother calls them to see all the blueberries popping out, which are not quite ripe enough for eating yet. When she leaves with her wheelbarrow, the triplets eat unripe berries and the consequences are bad, leading them to tell their first lie which leads to many more, because ""once you tell one lie, you're cursed and it gets worse"". They wind up telling nine lies, until they finally decide to tell the truth to save their pet chipmunks from being trapped who their father believes ate all of the blueberries since ""only chipmunks leave nothing on the stem"". They empty their piggy banks and gather all of their hidden evidence and offer it to their parents with a confession to save the chipmunks, take their punishment and learn the importance of telling the truth."

Author Information

Pamela Bell lives in Las Vegas, Nevada and is the grandmother of five. All of her life she had a passion for poetry and storytelling, so when her first grandchildren, the triplets, were born she began making up stories at nap time as a way to calm and entertain three rambunctious triplets and get them to fall asleep. It worked so well, that once they were too old for naps, they continued begging to still climb into their cozy sleeping bags and listen to their Grammy's stories. The Lazy Lesson, by far, was their favorite story of the hundreds their grandmother made up, so several years later at the urging of her daughter, she wrote the story. It inspired the idea of an entire series about triplet adventures that would entertain, yet teach important lessons with sentiment, humor and rhyme, so that children and their parents would enjoy reading them and look forward to every lesson. Penny Weber is a full time illustrator from Long Island, New York. She works on Photoshop creating digital paintings and has illustrated many picture books for the trade and educational markets. Penny lives with her husband, three children and their fat cat Tiger.
