This book is a pack of lies! Whether they've called them windies, whoppers, or gallyfloppers, people have been telling tall tales for as long as anyone can remember. Like the one about the day it rained so hard, people jumped into the river to keep it from drowning... or the one who caught such an enormous fish that the picture he took of it weighed twelve pounds. One thing is for sure: Whoppers is a whole lot of laughs--and that's no lie!
