Diamond Rattle Loves to Tattle is a colourfully illustrated children's book about learning the difference between trying to help and trying to get someone in trouble. Diamond Rattle is a rattlesnake who loves to tattle, telling her teacher everything. It shows that her friends can't trust her and her teacher can't believe her, affecting all her friendships. Diamond gets taught when it's important to tell an adult, if you or a friend are in danger, not feeling well or being bullied. It talks about trying to find solutions for problems with your friends first and then seeking help from an adult when it's needed.
At the end of the book there is a resource for parents and educators which explores why children might be exhibiting the behaviour that Diamond shows and what to do about it. As a parent I definitely found that insightful and very helpful.
This is a book that you want to have access to when you need it but are unlikely to pick up on a regular basis just for fun. It's about learning social and coping skills, as well as applying critical thinking. It's not a book we would pick up every day and read, but it is an important and useful message with excellent advice imparted in a way children can understand.
The only downside is that the word tattle-tale is very much an American one to my knowledge, here in the UK we would be more likely to use telltale which might be worth bearing in mind if you're a global reader.
This book also comes with a code for three free downloadable colouring pages from the book, which we downloaded and printed out. This was a really nice touch and a great interactive activity to do after reading. By colouring in and looking at the pictures so closely (it also comes with relevant text), I think it helps the message really be absorbed.
If you have a child who has a tendency to tell on every little thing which is affecting them socially, or who doesn't understand what things are important enough to tell an adult about, this is a must-read. I've given it five stars as an educational resource for children.

This is a very typical book on tattling. The author does a pretty good job rhyming stanzas, but cadence is all over the place. Sometimes it flows and sometimes it doesn’t. The story is also a bit long. Older kids will have the attention span for it, but younger ones may not.
This is a cute and practical book for primary grade teachers, parents, and guidance counselors to use with children. It teaches the difference between tattling and reporting in a fun way with practical examples that kids can relate to. The illustrations are colorful and crisp. #MakingDiamondRattleLovestoTattle #NetGalley
