My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this book with my two sons – D (age 6) and S (age 2.5). If you’re looking for a book that discusses the importance of telling the truth and owning up to your mistakes, look no further!

A review from an actual kid:
D (age 6) – ”The puppy got caught being bad but it wasn’t him and that makes me sad but it’s okay because the real Trash Bandit got caught at the end.”
S (age 2.5) – “The puppy made a mess in the trash!”

We gave this book 5 out of 5 stars because we loved it and my boys asked to read it multiple times!

Another cute and important lesson in this series. Lynn has such a great way of bringing adorable illustrations for children to visualize the story’s concepts and message. Buddy learns through a mess he didn’t make that consequences affect him when he wasn’t in the wrongdoing. The best circumstance is being honest and truthful as well as not taking fault for someone’s wrongdoing. At the end, there is a Bible verse and ties into the story and its message. This is such a great lesson for young children to understand from the beginning as they become integrated with their peers and others moments like these can occur but in essence, it is best to follow through with your honesty.

Another great story of Buddy and his siblings! This book focuses on honesty. Buddy is being blamed for the trash being dumped over every night. He knows he’s not the one doing it but can’t prove who it is until one night he catches them. However, he’s the one left standing in the mess as the real culprit got away before the humans got to them.

I am really enjoying this series! It is written from a Biblical basis and there is a Bible verse at the end of the story. It’s a great way to share these Truths with young ones! The illustrations are also very well done throughout the story. I highly recommend this series!

Buddy, the Corgi is back again! He is in his new home with his new family. In this book, we learn about getting in trouble and telling the truth even when it looks like you are the one doing great the wrong and we also learn about not lying. Another great read for my granddaughter.

Another wonderful story and life lesson learned and shared by Buddy the Blue Corgi! My kiddos and I have read and loved the previous books in the series, so there was no doubt in my mind that I would be bringing this one home. You can read them out of order or as standalones since they are children’s books, but they do have a nice progressive flow to them in order. The illustrations are just as beautiful as the other books as well and complement the story, bringing Buddy’s world to life. When Buddy is adopted, he starts loving his life with his new brothers, Donut and Salem. There is a trash bandit in the house that keeps making messes in the kitchen, and Buddy is getting blamed for it. Will he be able to prove that it isn’t him? This is an engaging lesson in honesty which makes it a perfect read for parents and teachers looking to spark discussion about characters and values. I highly recommend adding this to your library!

My children are two years apart and while often best friends, they’re still siblings. This was a great book to illustrate the importance of telling the truth and being held accountable for your own actions. The story flowed and was a fast read with good illustrations. My children enjoyed the book and I really liked that it was a lesson that didnt feel like a lecture!

Decisions Matter (Buddy the Blue Corgi Series) by Suzanna Lynn. This installment in the Buddy the blue corgi series we find that Buddy is settling in nicely with his new family. The only problem Buddy can find is someone has been getting into the families garbage and he is getting blamed for it. Buddy decides to stay up all night to catch the bandit. He doesn’t find him the first night and the second night he gets caught in a mess and looks even more guilty. When he finally catches the bandit, Buddy has to convince him that it is only right to tell the truth and as for forgiveness. These books are so good and they each have a wonderful life lesson in them. I love the fact that each book has a Bible verse on the back page. Teaching kids that doing the right thing is so important especially in today’s world. This book is perfect for all your little ones!

After reading this tonight my littlest one said Aweeee poor buddy. This Installment was about responsibility and encourages young readers to understand the impact of their decisions and the importance of thinking critically about their actions. With engaging illustrations and relatable scenarios, it offers valuable lessons about friendship, problem-solving, and personal growth. I can’t wait to see what other life values Buddy goes through.

This was a really perfect book for my kids to learn about the decisions that we make can have consequences with everything we do. These series are super cute, and my kids have loved all of them so far. Each one has an amazing learning on how to problem solve but then things might not go the way you plan it too at first. It deals with problem solving and also understanding and honesty. The illustrations go very well with the story and, they are very well done that it kept my kids engaged in the story. I absolutely love these Buddy the Corgi series books, and how it teaches kids some lessons that are good for everyday things.

What a great book! It is full of colorful illustrations and great characters and contains a terrific lesson that teaches children the importance of telling the truth.

Buddy is adjusting to his life with two brothers, Salem and Donut. Problems arise when a trash bandit keeps getting into the trash. Buddy feels terrible that his family has to clean up the mess, so he decides to find the culprit and solve the mystery. But somehow, he gets blamed for it. He, Salem, and Donut learn the importance of telling the truth, mainly when an innocent party gets blamed.

This is a wonderful book for small children. The colorful illustrations are visually appealing and a great way to engage young readers. The story will captivate them, and they will learn the vital lesson of telling the truth.

Buddy is fitting in with his new family and his friendly cat friends. The only hitch in his new life is a mysterious visitor at night getting into the garbage. His family thinks it is him, Buddy comes up with a plan though to catch the culprit but not everything is as it seems.

I thought this was a wonderful story and I think children can learn something with this one. In a time where we often have knee jerk reactions on who, what, when, where, and why it makes you take pause and look at the whole picture. Buddy stories are quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

Decisions Matter is a cute children’s book with a lesson to be learned. The characters and illustrations are so adorable. The struggle surrounding being a “tattletale” is tough for kids of all ages. I love the example presented in this story and how to solve it. The quote at the end is a good lesson, and I was happy the author included some non-bible quotes.

The illustrations are beautiful and the story is so sweet. It was perfect for my kids, age-wise, (3& 6). It shows kids to always tell the truth and not let someone else take the blame for their mistakes. I love how this story is about a real pup and gives some info on him. There is a part on the last page that is a passage from the bible, and while it is about what the story is trying to teach the child if you are not religious (or a different religion) this book might not be for you.

Aww poor little Buddy. This one has a very important lesson, HONESTY. All too often others take the blame for things because no one likes to get in trouble but letting others take it when they are innocent is so much worse. I have always told my two boys; Honesty is the best policy.

This book is a part of the Buddy the Corgi series, but can absolutely be read as a stand-alone. This story is about Buddy and the cats that are a part of his adopted family. When it seems like there is a midnight bandit who keeps getting into the trash, Buddy tries to stay awake to catch the bandit. The first night doesn’t quite go as planned, and the second night Buddy gets caught in the middle of a mess that he didn’t make, but does get blamed for. When he finally catches the bandit, the bandit is more than happy to let Buddy take the blame, until he is convinced that the decision to do the right thing is the most important one. This is a great book for helping to teach children about how important it is to take responsibility for your choices. I would recommend this book for any parent or teacher of young children, or children’s librarian.

If you have been reading this series, you know that Buddy has been adopted into his forever home. His new home has cats. One cat is a little bit of a troublemaker and gets Buddy into trouble. Both Buddy and Salem learn that telling lies will get you into more trouble and more often than not, could get others in trouble as well.

Another cute story with a good lesson attached. This is book 3 in a very cute series. The pictures are simple yet fitting for the story.

Another adorable take from the author about Buddy! I think the author has done a great job of creating lessons for young children to learn using a puppy and his friends. This story revolves around Buddy being falsely accused of making messes in the house. He does discover who the culprit is, but he doesn’t have want to be a tattletale. Buddy learns that making the right choice is important, as is being honest. I think its another great story that I would recommend to parents of young children.

Decisions Matter is the third book in the Buddy the Blue Corgi Series. Buddy returns at his new home, with new siblings, Salem and Donut. There is a mystery afoot as someone is getting into the trash, but no one can figure out who it is! A series of mishaps places Buddy in the line of fire and his new owners think he is the trash culprit. When Buddy finally catches the real offender, he stays quiet. The lessons in this book center around not lying, and to stick up for yourself. As a preschool teacher, I could see myself using all three of the books in this series as social-emotional teaching tools. They can also be used with older children. My 10 year old daughter thought they were cute!

Was a joy to share this story with the grands! They actually sat still and listened and enjoyed the pictures. Love that the author moves the story along quickly, as kids lose interest fast but, not this time! Love how the author teaches something along the way in the telling of the story, right and wrong choices was the lesson in this one. Will be looking for more stories from this author.

Buddy is back again with another story and another lesson. After being adopted by his new family, Buddy is settling in nicely. He enjoys his time with the family and his two cat siblings Salem and Donut. Of course they had their little fights here and there, but Donut normally helped sort it out. One morning the house woke up to trash all over the kitchen. Buddy was sad that his family had to clean up a mess and that they were upset. He made a plan to catch the trash bandit! But staying up past your bedtime can be hard. He fell asleep and when he woke to a crash he ended up getting blamed for the mess. Poor Buddy was in trouble for something he didn’t do. The next day he took an extra long nap so that he could stay up and catch the bandit once and for all. Hiding behind a sack of potatoes he stay quite until he heard noises from the trash. Jumping out he catches the culprit! But they run off and he again is blamed from the mess. He is put to bed and a gate is put up to keep him away from the kitchen. Donut comes to sort out the problem and learns who really is at fault. Not wanting to be a tattletale, Buddy keeps him mouth shut. But the truth always comes out. The next night the real culprit gets caught and Buddy learns that being honest is always the best. Even if you are scared you shouldn’t let someone else get in trouble for something they didn’t do.

Decisions Matter is part of the Buddy the Blue Corgi Series. What a wonderful story about being honest and telling the truth. There seems to be a trash bandit getting into the trash and knocking over the trashcan. Buddy is determined to catch the trash bandit except he’s the one being blamed since he’s the only one there. Buddy is trying to prove it’s not him but someone else. He figures out who it actually is. Will he tell Donut who the trash bandit is? It’s always good to be honest. I tell my six year old to be honest and always tell the truth. Make good choices because bad choices have consequences. Another wonderful story. The colorful illustrations brought the story to life. I highly recommend reading this book to children of any age. We can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Buddy lives with his two cat brothers, Salem and Donut. Donut is the older responsible sibling and keeps the others in line when needed. When someone keeps knocking over the trash at night, Buddy is determined to stay awake and catch who did it but the culprit keeps getting away in time and Buddy gets blamed. Buddy eventually sees who did it but is afraid of tattling on them. Donut teaches Buddy that he should never take the blame for something he didn’t do.
This was my first book from this author. It was super cute and had a great lesson.

Buddy is growing up with his new brothers, Salem and Donut. Buddy keeps being blamed for something he’s not doing and he tries to figure out who is the culprit. Donut helps the brothers to understand that telling the truth is always the most important thing.

What another great lesson taught to us by Buddy the Blue Corgi. I love the simple approach to these books. One small but meaningful lesson in each book. Can’t wait to see what Buddy and his family get up to next.

This was a cute story! I think that it is engaging for kids and packed with good messages. Children are often worried about being a tattletale when reporting something that they are dealing with. This book is a good reminder that it is ok to report unkind behavior. Also, that honesty is important. I would recommend this for a read aloud for children. It opens opportunity for constructive conversations.
