The first entry in the classic children's book series, McBroom Tells the Truth introduces us to the McBroom family and the origin of their amazing farm with soil so rich that it will grow anything, and I mean ANYTHING. As with every McBroom book, this one is full of amusing exaggerations and tall tales sworn to be the truth, with the humorous confession of a minor fib at the end of the tale. ( )

This book is a delightfully funny tall tale. A father of twelve buys an acre of swampland that ends up with incredible growing properties. McBroom tells the truth, just as it happened.
