Summary

Description

Oh moon so full, round, and bright
We beg one favor of you tonight
For witches who tattle, witches who snitch,
Tie their tongues, zip their lips!
No witch shall squeal or tell on friends.
This spell will be broken when the snitching ends!"

Critic Reviews

“Explains the difference between tattling and telling: Snitching gets people in trouble; telling is for unsafe conditions, when someone's hurt, or when you need help from a grown-up… text for grown-ups follow the tale, explaining snitching versus telling, why kids snitch, and what adults can do about it. Haley's artwork features dark backgrounds with brilliant splashes of vibrant colors and a diverse cast.” —Kirkus Reviews
