Description

Spunky, spirited Isabella is always shouting out her every thought, idea, and feeling.

She loves using her loud voice so much, everyone calls her "Decibella " But that's not a nickname to brag about. Isabella's so loud, she interrupts class and irritates others. She doesn't know how or when to use a softer, quieter voice until her teacher introduces the "five volume" of voice - 6-inch, Whisper, Table-Talk, Strong Speaker, and Outside. Learning how and when to use each voice is made a lot more fun when Isabella is told to practice by saying aloud the word "Slurpadoodle "

Award-winning author Julia Cook's creative storytelling, coupled with eye-pleasing illustrations, help K through 6 readers learn and remember what voice volume to use when speaking in class, chatting in the library, sitting at the lunch table, or playing outside.

Decibella and Her 6-inch Voice is the second book in the author's popular Communicate with Confidence book series which gives children a fun to learn to be better communicators with the importance in using different volumes of their voice in different situations.
