No one likes "Josh the Tattler" because he tattles way too much. He tattles on his classmates, his brother, and even his dog! But one night Josh wakes up to find that his tongue is very long, yellow, covered in bright purple spots, and itchy, itchy, scratchy, scratchy. Read the story to see if a bad case of Tattle Tongue will teach him a lesson.

This humorous, cleverly creative way to address the time-consuming tattling-related issues that often sap classroom energy and thwart teaching opportunities will help adults win the "tattle battle" on playgrounds, in the classrooms, and in the community.
