I normally like Julia Cook books, but this one wasn't my favorite. I didn't like that Josh was told by the Tattle Prince that it was tattling if someone takes something that belongs to you. That just teaches kids to keep quiet when someone does something wrong to them. The kid stole his pencil. What if a child is being hurt by an adult? It is absolutely okay to tell when someone steals your belongings or when someone does something that hurts you. Not only that, the Tattle Prince was his teacher? That's not creepy at all... *sarcasm*

Gives a good explanation of tattling and telling and great strategies to know the difference.
