A Tattle-Tell Tale is an important book for children--and
adults--of all ages to read. Older readers will be glad for a story
that both engages children and helps them to understand the
importance of communication with adults. Younger readers,
especially those who may be struggling with a bully at school, will
gain insight as to what to do... Highly recommended.-- "CM:
Canadian Review of Materials"
Cole's story lets young readers know that there are options; that
adults will support them (one hopes this is always true); that they
have the right to be safe and to stand up for their own happiness;
and that telling is not tattling.-- "Resource Links"
The delicate issues covered in each book [in the I'm a Great Little
Kid series] are presented in relatable and useful ways that will
allow children to connect and find solutions for troublesome
situations that they may encounter. Leng employs great identity and
ethnic diversity in the cast of characters through bright,
expressive, and simple illustrations perfect for young readers.--
