(4) K-3 Illustrated by Elina Ellis. There's "constant tattling, all day long" by bird Miles (and classmates), so giraffe teacher Mrs. Snitcher starts a weeklong "tattle battle" to cure the problem. When his sister gets hurt at home, Miles finally learns the difference between tattling and helping. It's a slightly preachy but effective lesson for children needing guidance, and inviting white space juxtaposed with bright illustrations adds appeal.
