Another cute book that teaches honesty is the best policy. The story is very engaging especially with Donut being the responsible one. He does have some wise words for Buddy and Salem. When something bad happens, one would want to make it right. Sometimes it’s hard to do the right thing with conflicting feelings. The overall story is well done and the illustrations are very well done.

This is the second book I have read in this series. I read this with my seven year old son. We liked this one even more than the first! We loved how we got to meet Buddy’s cat siblings. My son loved how one cat sibling was a mature kitty, while the other was a little naughty. He thinks it’s very realistic to how cats are in real life.

We only recently read our first book by this author so we were excited to get our hands on the next one so soon. I think we were all looking forward to reading more about Buddy and his fun adventures. This book was not only entertaining, but had a great message it had been focused around – the importance of telling the truth. This felt like a very familiar concept to us, with my eldest coming in to the phase of learning how to “tell tales” and understanding why you should be truthful. This author really has a knack for weaving a fun yet educational tale. As with the last book, my kids thoroughly enjoyed this story. They were instantly engaged and their attention was held until the final page. This is a great story and we all want more adventures from Buddy!

What a cute story about how the choices you make can affect other people. Buddy is trying to do the right thing and catch the trash bandit, but every single time the bandit disappears and Buddy is left to take the blame. Salem realizes how much he is really hurting his friend and starts to make better decisions and take the blame as he deserved it. The illustrations were great too.

This is such a cute and sweet book with a very good lesson. I love the art in this book, the animals are so cute with their different expressions. I felt so bad for Buddy, and I really liked how Donut wanted to keep all the animals of the house under control as to not make life hard for their humans. The lesson here is “tattling” on someone is not wrong when you are defending yourself from blame. I absolutely love the Bible verse at the end that can be shared with children in reference to what God says about how we act in daily life.

Decisions Matter is a great learning tool for children. Suzanna Lynn has made it easy to understand why making good decisions is vital. I hope all parents of young children will share this book and series with their children. This would be a great addition to any library.

Buddy and his brothers, Salem and Donut, are in this book. Someone keeps getting in the trash. Buddy didn’t want to be a tattletale but he also didn’t like taking the blame. It’s a great way to show littles ones how to make the right choices even when it’s hard. Great illustrations and quick read.

Decisions Matter is the third book in the Buddy the Blue Corgi series by Suzanna Lynn. This series is designed to help children work through everyday problems. Decisions Matter is another engaging story that encourages learning right from wrong, good choices, you aren’t being a tattletale if you are standing up for yourself when you haven’t done anything wrong, letting someone else take the blame for something you did wrong is way worse than being a tattletale, being honest, taking responsibility, and more. The story comes with very cute, bright, colourful, and engaging illustrations that help to bring the story to life and reinforce the important messages. As with the other two books, this finishes with a scripture passage that helps to reinforce the messages in this book. Happy Reading…

Decisions Matter is Book 3 in the Buddy the Blue Corgi series and this is a great story that teaches a valuable lesson we could all learn. I always believe honestly is the best policy regardless if it is good or bad. When a mystery on whom is making a mess in the trash….Buddy knows it is not him. When the blame is placed on him, there lesson of trying to find the truth and what can happen…. all Buddy wants is to find out who is the culprit….
This is a great story with a very big lesson on telling the truth that we all can learn from. The story has beautiful and colorful illustrations and can be enjoyed from the young and the young at heart reading to the little ones. I really love Buddy the Blue Corgi and his adventures and lessons. I would love to see more in the future with Buddy.

The life lesson in the third book, “Decisions Matter,” in the Buddy the Blue Corgi series is that sometimes it’s better to tell the truth than to keep quiet because you never know who will get hurt. In this book, Buddy discovers that it’s okay to tell the truth because he doesn’t like being in trouble for something he didn’t do. My grandsons enjoyed seeing Buddy and his family, and how he is settling in, which was beautifully depicted by the lovely illustrations. They didn’t like that Buddy was getting in trouble for something he didn’t do, but they were glad when it was revealed that he wasn’t the one making the mess. Your children will also enjoy the adventures with Buddy.

This book has really pretty pictures that will keep the children’s attention while you are reading the story to them. And then later as they get older they can read the story to themselves.
It teaches you that if you do something wrong it’s ok but if you lie about it then it’s not, especially if it gets someone else in trouble.
Check out this book I think your littles will enjoy it.

Decisions Matter: A Picture Book About Learning Right from Wrong by Suzanna Lynn continues the charming adventures of Buddy the Blue Corgi and his canine companions, Donut and Salem. In this third installment, Buddy finds himself in a sticky situation when a mysterious trash bandit wreaks havoc in the kitchen, and he’s wrongly accused of the mess.
Lynn’s narrative beautifully intertwines humor and a valuable life lesson about honesty and integrity. The plot is engaging, with Buddy’s dilemma of not wanting to be a tattletale adding an extra layer of depth to the story. This conflict is relatable for young readers, who often grapple with the challenge of speaking up when they know the truth but fear the consequences of being perceived as a snitch.
The illustrations are, as always, a highlight in the Buddy the Blue Corgi series. Lynn’s art style is vibrant and expressive, bringing Buddy and his friends to life with a playful, colorful palette that captures the attention of young readers. The visual storytelling complements the narrative, making the moral lesson both accessible and engaging.

Author Suzanna Lynn is a happily married, full-time mother of three beautiful, energetic children, and lives in a small town nestled in the deep rolling hills of Missouri.
Growing up in the Ozarks, Suzanna spent her childhood wandering the fields and woods surrounding her home. While most children avoided the dark corners of the woods, she sought them out; imagining them to be filled with fairies, dragons and all number of creatures.
Having not lost her childhood imagination, Suzanna has written numerous poems, songs and short stories that won various awards in high school and college. Her dream was to, one day, be an author.
In 2014 she decided to stop wishing she could publish a book and made the dream a reality when she released The Bed Wife.
That first novella gave birth to two more books, completing the series, and stirred the embers of her five-book series called The Untold Stories. She has since published stand alone novels, and has published several children’s books.
When she’s not busy writing, illustrating, or spending time with her family, Suzanna loves to travel, go horseback riding, and growing flowers. She also has been known to volunteer with her children’s school, the Ladies Auxiliary, and even her local zoo!
