Diamond Rattle Loves to Tattle (Diamond, Opal and Friends) [Paperback] Ashley Bartley and Brian Martin

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.
