Smoothing Over the Pudding is about a Christian 'cat' family and telling the truth no matter the consequences. Joyce, the mother cat shows her family the delicious pudding she made for Sunday dessert. She politely asks them not to touch it, and they all agree. But that night Joyce's daughter Jane sneaks into the kitchen while everyone is asleep and eats 3 spoonfuls of the pudding and smooths it over so no one would notice. This thoughtful and inspiring picture book is essential for children understanding the purpose of telling the truth and being forgiven.
