"As every grown-up knows, yelling comes naturally to children. This friendly, encouraging book introduces and reinforces where and when to use an 'indoor voice' or an 'outdoor voice.' Simple words and vivid illustrations show the places and times for an indoor voice, the ways people ask us to speak more quietly, and situations when yelling might occur. Children learn how they can quiet their voices and talk about a problem, supported by a simple reminder: 'Think before you yell, and use your words well!' A special section for adults offers activities and discussion starters for home, school, and childcare"--Back cover.
