Voices Are Not for Yelling

This book should be the first book you read to your students, on the first day of school. I love the pictures and the words!

This is a great addition to a wonderful series of books. It will definitely be added to our library collection.

SPOT ON.
This book would be great in any first school / infant classroom both as a tool for adults to reinforce school rules and as a reading book for children in to their school setting.
Bright, bold pictures and simply rhyme make it a lovely book to look at and read.

This is going to be a title that every school needs! It's a lovely picture book all about appropriate voices. I think there are some parents who could stand to read this one too, but it's going to be a great one to use at the beginning of school and then to revisit once in awhile to talk about appropriate voice levels. Awesome! Thank you!

This book is geared to preschool and primary children. We all know that our voice is a magnificent tool that can be tuned to whisper, sing, shout, and be quiet. We have to teach our children (and often remind ourselves) what is the appropriate tone we need to implement at a given time.

This book introduces and reinforces us where and when to use an "indoor voice" or an "outside voice." In simple, kid-friendly scenarios, wonderfully portrayed through text and vivid illustrations, these vignettes guide us and give us understanding of the power of our voice. It demonstrates the different ways people ask us to quiet down and when a is perfect time to "uncork" ourselves and shout from the rooftops. When loud yelling happens, if you are angry, frustrated, or excited, it can cause people's ears to hurt and even hurt their feelings.

The book points out that using a quiet voice and using your words well can enable you to talk about your problems in a more sedate and calm manner and get much more accomplished. The book says it perfectly, "Think before you yell, and use your words well!"

The author has included a special portion at the back of the book for parents and caregivers. Utilizing this section will spark conversations and sharing about gaining self-control and knowing exactly when yelling is the right voice tone to use and when quiet is what you should choose.

I recognized the illustration as being similar to a book my son received from his grandmother, Hands Are Not for Hitting. Voices Are Not for Yelling provides a similar understanding of appropriate behaviors for children. The Tips and Activities for caregivers and parents provides more than just a story for children.

This is the perfect book for preschoolers. I love this series and the way it puts everyday problems into words little ones can understand. The advice for caregivers is helpful.
