This is a good little book to illustrate the frustration of interuption. If your little angel can’t help themselves, this book may help them to relate to your frustration.

I found this book to be a put down to the child all the way through. He has a volcano mouth that he can’t control until he experiences someone else speaking when it is his turn. Then he is shown by teacher and mom to see the other child as a volcano mouth. Teacher and Mom show their disdain of his “volcano mouth” through punishment. No attempt whatsoever is made to tune into the child. To show him how listening to others can be inspiring, exciting and create a connection. And possibly through his listening, create a connection where he can feel heard.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I love this book so much and don’t know what I’d do as an elementary school counselor without it. It is a fun, gentle, and SMART way to teach kids about self control and the skill of not interrupting. The kids respond very well to My Mouth is a Volcano. A lot of them can relate to Louis and his total lack of awareness of social cues. Great job Julia Cook!

When I first found this book at my kids’ school I was thrilled! I went out and bought my own copy so I could read it to my son (age 6) who is forever interrupting people. Guess what?! He loves the book and whenever he starts to interrupt, he remembers the book and stops himself! You can’t ask for anything more than that…a fun, interesting book that helps teach! WOW!
