About this book, Doctor of Philology, Professor Sofya Mikhailovna Loiter, in her analytical article “The Gift of a Children’s Writer”, published in the magazine “North” No. 10, 2001, wrote: “... I have been convinced more than once that the writer Igor Vostryakov is a real “children's holiday.” His new book, “A Textbook on Lies,” was a real treat. The writer went towards this book with all his literary creativity, experience of understanding a child, and penetration into the elements of folklore. A bright, bold book was created by Igor Vostryakov. The writer manifests the goal of his “Textbook on Lies” as follows: “Hold your imagination by the tail! Don't let go of yourself! And then any of you will grow up to be a happy person!” With his book, Vostryakov helps children preserve their childhood and be at least a little happy. Isn’t this the main mission of a children’s writer?”
