Trouble Talk by Trudy Ludwig

scostner's review

3.0

All of Ludwig's books on bullying, teasing, or trouble with friends are good read-alouds and deal with very real issues that students face.

This book does a nice job of discussing the issue of rumors, gossip, sharing information that isn't yours to share, and just saying mean things in general. It gives children a look into what "trouble talk" actually looks like, the consequences of the "trouble talk" and how to deal with it. This book is worthwhile to any parent with a school-aged child, so children are able to identify and deal with this type of thing when it happens at school. The only complaint would be the illustrations. The mixed-media style (it looks like she used paper for the clothes and other items in the book) was distracting.
