Miles McHale is a tattletale. And everybody knows it. But he's not the only one who needs help, so his teacher decides: it's time to fight the Tattle Battle! But will Miles figure out the right time to tell a grown-up about another person's behavior, or is he doomed to be a tattletale forever?
From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2—Miles McHale is a chick with many fine qualities. He is funny, bright, and lovable, but he has one trait that is causing trouble at home and especially at school. Miles is going through a tattle phase, and nobody can elude him: not his dog Frank, his brother Thomas, or his classmates. Although Miles is not the only student with these inclinations, he is the lead tattler in his class, and he can't distinguish between situations when he needs to let an adult know that someone is in trouble and times when he should mind his own business. So his teacher devises a competition with one straightforward rule: no tattling for one week, and the winning team will earn extra recess time. Will Miles finally restrain himself and lead his team to victory? With speech bubble dialogue and engaging, digitally produced, pastel illustrations, this picture book flows naturally and presents a conflict that young readers will easily understand. VERDICT An ideal read-aloud for a storytime at school, at home, or in the library. A popular choice for most collections.—Kathia Ibacache, Simi Valley Public Library, CA
