A True Learning Experience
3 Sep 2008
Format:Hardcover
This is one of the best books for children I've ever read. Trouble Talk tackles, so well, so completely, the REAL social problems that kids have to deal with - the rumors, the difficult friendships, difficult relationships, forgiveness, lies, trust...and the story is told so realistically. I could clearly hear all of the characters' voices in my head! This book would be perfect for a teacher to read to her students. I think it would spark such wonderful discussions about the above listed topics. Kids can learn so much from this book, and from each other, if only we talk about these subjects as Trudy Ludwig so beautifully did.

Great book on relational aggression with girls
25 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover
There are so few books about the complicated layers of childhood friendships. As a school social worker, this is one of the first I've seen that addresses relational aggression in a very real way. I'd recommend this book for 2nd-5th graders (especially girls), perhaps reading to a halfway point and then stopping to ask questions of the class. What would you do if you were this character? How do you think this one feels? There are also some very helpful tips for discussion at the end of the book.
My only issue with the book is that it has a nice tidy ending, like several of Ludwig's stories. It might be helpful to have a conversation with kids about this--how realistic is this ending? How might things happen at your school in this situation?

I loved this book!!!
5 Jun 2008
Format:Hardcover
Smart book about how words can hurt a friendship--and how friendships can heal. Trudy Ludwig has made a difficult topic accessible to young readers. I recommend it highly.
