And nineteen tattletales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in a school classroom, the \"kids\" in the class-really, feisty piglets-constantly tattle on each other, creating an air of frustration and distrust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the story unfolds, the teacher, rather than strictly policing the situation, addresses underlying feelings and encourages mutual problem solving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough most kids' problems are kid-sized ones that they can work out themselves, tattling is a fact of life for young children. Their ability to solve problems on their own is just developing, and they often feel they can't manage a situation without help from an adult.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs every teacher and parent knows, kids also tattle on their classmates and siblings because they want to look like the \"good child,\" or be appreciated as helpful, or even just get some attention. And of course, kids sometimes tattle as a means of getting back at another child, especially a bigger brother or sister.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith warmth and humor, this story for young grade-schoolers offers easy guidelines so that kids know when to talk to each other, and when to call in the grown-ups.
