A BAD CASE OF TATTLE TONGUE

By Julia Cook. A humorous, clever story shows teachers and counselors how to address time-consuming, tattle-related issues before they sap classroom energy and thwart teaching opportunities. Josh tattles too much—on his classmates, his brother, and even his dog. One night he wakes up to find his tongue is very long, yellow, covered in purple spots, and itchy-itchy scratchy-scratchy. Will a bad case of Tattle Tongue help him learn the difference between tattling and telling? Used as a supplementary guide, the activity book includes discussion questions, exercises, and reproducible worksheets and activities. Grades K–3. Illustrated. 9" x 8". Courage to Change. 32 pages. ©2006.

"It is clear that Julie Cook is very in-touch with the realities of how much to both engage and educate children. She has created a fanciful story replete with rhyme, repetition, and a healthy dose of imagery and imagination that tastefully and responsibly tackles the problem of childhood tattling. A wonderful book that children, parents, and educators will love!"
