Don't Squeal Unless It's a Big Deal by Jeanie Franz Ransom
Teaches kids when squealing on a fellow classmate is appropriate and when it is merely tattling Set in a school classroom, the kids in the class constantly tattle on each other, creating an air of frustration and distrust. The teacher, rather than policing the situation, addresses underlying feelings and encourages mutual problem solving.

"I have scoured the EARTH for SOLID books on tattlingI say solid because I am not a fan of books that make kids feel bad for tattling. Not cool. Don't Squeal Unless It's a Big Deal is definitely a favorite. I work really hard on helping students see the difference between small problems ('Laura looked at me!') and big problems ('Laura punched me!'). Hint: make sure to incorporate lessons on how to problem solve with tattling lessons. If they truly don't know how to solve a problem - then of course they'll tattle! I seriously notice a decrease in tattling when the kids feel educated and AWARE of their behavior."—Books That Heal Kids
