Tessie Tames Her Tongue

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Charles Lehman. Tessie's loud, fast, nonstop talking drives everyone away--especially when her mouth is full of food. Her teacher and school counselor help Tessie visualize her runaway tongue and give her techniques to become a good listener. Bright cartoon illustrations show Tessie's tortured--then relieved--family and classmates. Three pages of "tips for helping talkative children" are appended to the purposeful story.
