Learning when to tell

Josh reports on classmates, his brother and even his dog, until an unusual change to his tongue gives the habit a comic, storybook shape. The book uses his predicament to introduce a practical distinction: tattling for its own sake versus telling an adult when something important needs attention. Its “Tattle Rules” connect the story to situations children may encounter at school, at home and on the playground, giving adults a starting point for talking through the difference.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring the difference between tattling and alerting an adult to an important concern.
  • Parents, teachers and counselors seeking a story to support conversations about tattling.
