MY MOUTH IS A VOLCANO!

By Julia Cook. Vibrantly illustrated, this book takes an empathetic approach to the habit of interrupting and offers a witty technique for managing thoughts and feelings. Louis is always interrupting. All his words are important to him, so they rumble and grumble in his tummy, and they wiggle and jiggle on his tongue and press against his teeth, right before he erupts! His mouth is a volcano, until experience shows him the value of respectfully waiting his turn. 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. ©2005.
