I gave this story a 5 due to the message it gives to children in a kid-friendly/appropriate way. The illustrations are very well done and correlate with the words well!While I like the topic, and some strategies offered to help kids who interrupt too much... I’m not sure I enjoyed the book as much as I could have. It’s cute that Louis has a volcano inside him, but I kind of wish he had something else inside; like a sling shot! I wish there were something inside him that gave no warning. I think the hardest part about being an interrupting kid is that they have no warning. It all happens so fast! In fact, his thoughts are so important to him that when he has something to say, his words begin to wiggle, and then they do the jiggle, then his tongue pushes all of his important words up against his teeth and he erupts, or interrupts others. Helping Kids keep themselves safe: In all reality we aren’t always around to keep our kids safe, but we can give them the tools they need to handle themselves if a situation arises. Individual students who might benefit from this book would be students that have a tendency to interrupt you when you're talking and do not realize the impact it has on other people.

In trying to pindown the problem, I think the book is too juvenile in its most repetitive phrase. "My tummy starts to rumble and then it starts to grumble, my words begin to wiggle, and then they do the jiggle, my tongue pushes all of my important words up against my teeth and then...." is so grating that I felt annoyed at myself just for reading it aloud. And you have to read it over and over again. I just don't talk like that. It was too babyish for me. This book is about a little boy who cannot stop interrupting the people in his life. As he continues to interrupt these people, everyone is getting frustrated with him because they are unable to complete their thoughts. Do you know this book, My Mouth is a Volcano by Julia Cook? It’s a great book to read at the beginning of the year, especially if you have some kids with active volcanoes. ???? This interactive read aloud resource is just what you need.I gave this book 5 stars because it is a great story to teach students a social skill, being respectful and not interrupting others when they are speaking. This story is a fictional story about a boy who constantly interrupts his teacher, friends, and family when they are speaking. The fictional aspect is that the boy has a “volcano” inside him. It is realistic fiction because the story could happen with children interrupting others, but the story does not really happen. It gives a great visual for children because it talks about how the boy has a volcano in his body that “erupts” and he “explodes” which is when he is interrupting others. It shows how his friends, family, and classmates get upset because he is always interrupting and the boy has it happen to him so he understands how it feels. At the end of the story the boy learns a strategy to calm his “volcano” and not interrupt others and he learns a valuable lesson.
