Teaching children to use their inside voice can sometimes be a tough job to accomplish. Some children get it before others do. This book is the perfect book because it illustrates the times when it's fine to be loud and the times when we need to use our softer inside voices.

Talking points: When are some times you can be loud? When are some times it's better to use your inside voice? What are some of your favorite activities? Why? What are the parts of your day that you don't really like? Why?
