Julia Cook has written some ARFF-filled books that teach important lessons for elementary age students. I read this one to first, second, and third graders and they were spell-bound throughout the reading, and totally got the message. "My Mouth is a Volcano" is the story of Louis who has a habit of blurting out at inappropriate times. His mom teaches him to bite down on his words before they leave his mouth...and it works!
I wish I had read this book when I was in third grade. It might have kept me from staying after school and having to write, "I will not talk out of turn" ONE HUNDRED TIMES! Yes. I really had to do that.
