My son loves the Ratsos and the Ratty Tattletale was one he could not put down! In this book the brothers and friends are dealing with some major tattletales and while trying to figure out how to deal with them, they manage to find more trouble...not surprising. But in true fashion, they find ways to right all the wrongs and come out on top!

How do you handle bullies? Big Lou, the Ratso brother's father, says that the best way is to walk away, or crack a joke, or, in the case of the two brothers, go to someone in authority.

The brothers ask if that isn't being, well, a rat, if they tattle on the bullies. Their father explains that they shouldn't have to put up with bullies, which is true. No child should have to put up with bullies.

Very simple story with a strong message. Good for young kids to know that this just doesn't happen to them, and know where to turn to get help.
