Synopsis

Are you tattling and trying to get someone in trouble, or are you telling so you can help someone? 
Diamond Rattle loves to tattle.
She's been telling on others for years.
She's quick to glide up to her teacher's desk 

and tattle on all of her peers!

This adorable tale is the story of an elementary-aged rattlesnake amongst a classroom full of other elementary-aged animals. The problem? Diamond LOVES to tattle. And when she tattles, her rattles glow and grow!

Her tattling tendencies are affecting her friendships. With peers avoiding her, she finds herself eating lunch alone. Fortunately for Diamond, her caring teacher Miss Crow is there to teach her more about problem-solving, staying out of others' business, and the difference between a report and a tattle.

Will Diamond be able to control her snitching snake tendencies? Find out in this charming tale from debut author, school counselor, and mom Ashley Bartley, written for K-5 students. Helpful tips for parents, counselors and educators are included. Companion lessons and activities are also available from Boys Town Press. 
Diamond Rattle Loves to Tattle addresses the five key elements of social emotional learning (SEL): self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, self-awareness, and responsible decision-making, making it an essential addition to an educator's classroom library.

From the Back Cover

She's proud to be the school's biggest tattler, always slithering up to the teacher to rat out anyone who makes a mistake or acts a little mischievous. One minute she's outing Opal the Octopus for doodling, and the next minute she's calling out Casey the Cow for blowing bubbles. Is Diamond just a "snake in the grass" who can't be trusted? The class busybody who likes getting her classmates into trouble? Or does she tattle because she thinks it's the only right thing to do?
Diamond Rattle Loves to Tattle is a cutely illustrated tale about figuring out when the right thing to do means telling an adult and when the best thing to do is figuring it out on your own. A great lesson for young readers in grades K-5.
