Written for younger children, this book is about a boy who makes a promise to his Dad and then wants to break his promise later. Using simple and expressive verse combined with delightful illustrations, the author's intention is to highlight the importance of being faithful to your word even at an early age. This book is the second in a series of four books which aid in the development of mature attitudes in young children. The boy in this story is in conflict with himself in that he has made a promise to his Dad, but later there is an opportunity to have fun playing a game with his neighbour. The boy learns that keeping your word is the way of maturity.
