The Adventures of Tootsie Turtle and Dobbie Doo

"And Squeaky there's something
You really need to know.
No one likes to play with others
Who tattle on them so."
Said Squeak, "They really bug me.
They hurt my feelings too.
When someone says something unkind,
Whatever shall I do?"
Children often tattle on each other and as grown-ups we're tempted to tell them to "just get along". The problem is though that they may not know how to do that. Sometimes it's appropriate to tell an adult and sometimes they need to learn how to talk through their problem with their friend. This story seeks to help them know when to tell and when to talk it out.
