What a fun way to learn a valuable lesson!
Julia Cook has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I am a teacher and I believe she has the most perfect books to help with classroom management. I hope to continue to build my collection of her books to use throughout the school year. They are a meaningful, fun, engaging way to help communicate a message to young children. This particular book tells the story of someone who doesn’t understand when to tattle or when to report and shares strategies that might help others that can relate. It’s a great way to reiterate that every student is an individual and has their own needs! It’s also fun to have students make their own tattle tongues at the beginning of the year…

Tattle Tongues!!
I really like Julia Cook’s books. I was first introduced to her books by my partner teacher who shared My Mouth is a Volcano with me. I am a third grade teacher and I had a class of students this year who really enjoyed tattling on each other. I was at my wit’s end when I came across this book on Amazon. I ordered it immediately and was not disappointed. I knew Cook was reliable for elementary age appropriate books but I try and preview books as much as possible so that I am familiar with the subject matter and have good talking points, etc. so I decided to read it to my own children who have been known to tattle on each other and on friends from time to time. They instantly loved it. I would definitely recommend this book for children pre-K-2 range who are prone to tattling or for building community. Cook clearly identifies Danger Rangers and Tattle Tongues in the book and makes it perfectly clear when you Chou,d be either one of them. Having these names to use as common vocabulary with my students and my own children makes a tattling conversation very quick as all I have to say to them is, “Are you being a Danger Ranger or a Tattle Tongue?” and it immediately stops when I call them out on it. My third graders were fine with this book especially since they were such Tattle Tongues themselves but I don’t see this being used with an age range higher than that. Cook does not disappoint with her content choices in this book and it really helped my children and my class have an open and honest conversation about tattling.

Dibujos no muy bonitos, historia larga y aburrida (se supone para niños) con un intendo educativo no muy detectable o-desde mi punto de vista- discutible…decepcion total.

A brilliant book for teaching children about telling tales. Yes it has the american term ‘tattle tongue’ – but it really doesn’t matter as the lesson is just as valid. My granddaughter has really taken a liking to tis book.

Excellent story/lesson for young readers. There is also tattling rules at the back which I made into a larger poster for the classroom. There are lots of other lessons available with this book.
