Ratty Tattletale
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
When Ralphie Ratso stands up to some kids who bullied his friend, they vow revenge. But will ratting them out make it worse?
Sid and Kurt have been picking on Ralphie's friend Tiny, and when Ralphie tells them to stop, the two boys get sent to the principal's office. Now Sid and Kurt are out to get Ralphie! They upend Ralphie's lunch tray, whip the ball at his head on the playground, and pelt him with peashooters when the teachers aren't looking—ping! Ralphie's brother, Louie, says he should tell a grown-up, but Ralphie—not wanting to be a Ratty Tattletale—decides to "fight fire with fire," only creating new problems for himself. It's time to tell Big Lou, his dad, who has a few wise ideas for putting things right. Full of the charm and fun that Ratsos fans love, this fifth adventure highlights the difference between standing up for yourself and taking vengeance—and shows why confiding in a trusted grown-up when you have a big problem can be the coolest thing to do.

A new life lesson for Ralphie and Louie Ratso, with an assist from their savvy single dad. When a pair of bullies from the fifth grade start picking on mouse third grader Tiny, his classmate Ralphie the rat tells them to stop. But when Kurt and Sid get in trouble, it's Ralphie who becomes their next target. They flip his lunch tray, pelt him with balls, and target him with peashooters. Ralphie won't let anyone, even older brother Louie, help him confront the bullies, and he certainly doesn't want the adults to know. "I don't need anyone else fighting my battles," he insists, determined not to become a tattletale. But every attempt Ralphie makes to stand up for himself results in Ralphie getting in trouble. When Louie collaborates, albeit grudgingly, with Ralphie's attempt to "fight fire with fire," the two of them end up hurting someone they really like. The boys' tough, cool--and disappointed--dad explains that sometimes you just need to ask the adults for help, even if it makes you feel like a tattletale. All the boys, even the bullies, make restitution for their wrongs, and good parenting wins the day. Gentle, supportive humor is reinforced by the comical illustrations. Instructive--delightfully so.
