DECIBELLA AND HER 6-INCH VOICE

By Julia Cook. Illustrated by Anita DuFalla. Isabella enjoys shouting out her thoughts, ideas, and feelings so much that it’s earned her the nickname "Decibella!" As Isabella discovers that different situations require different tones and that there are five different volumes of voice (whisper, table-talk, strong speaker, outside, and "6-inch"—the voice that only those six inches or less away can hear), her humorously illustrated story helps teach young students proper voice volume control. Grades K–6. Tips for parents and educators. 9" x 9". Boys Town Press. 32 pages. ©2014.
