Cosmo Rabbit and the Tattletale Turtle

A gentle, funny children's chapter book about telling the truth, keeping secrets, and learning when to speak up.
Shelly the turtle notices everything.
She notices spilled ink, muddy pawprints, sneaky biscuits, whispered plans, and even secrets that were supposed to stay secret. The trouble is, Shelly doesn't always know which things need telling-and which things are better left alone.
So when she accidentally spoils Miss Bramble's surprise birthday party, the whole schoolyard is upset. Shelly only wanted to help, but now she feels lonelier than ever.
Luckily, Cosmo Rabbit sees something others have missed: Shelly's watchful eyes are not the problem. She just needs help learning how to use them.
With warmth, humor, and a little spaceship magic, Cosmo Rabbit and the Tattletale Turtle helps young readers understand the difference between tattling, telling, protecting, and caring. Perfect for bedtime, classroom read-alouds, and conversations about friendship, empathy, honesty, and social choices.
Ideal for children ages 6-9, early chapter book readers, families, teachers, and counselors looking for a thoughtful story with a clear but compassionate lesson.
