A little bird who's in trouble for tattling on his brother discovers a much better use for telling tales in this fun, fresh story with energetic illustrations.

Dob is a small bird, and so is his brother, Bob. Dob likes nothing more than telling on Bob to get him in trouble--when Bob flies a little too high, perhaps, or goes hunting for worms on his own. "Your secret is safe with me," Dob tells his brother. But of course it never is, and soon Bob has had enough. And so has their mother! When she scolds Dob for telling on his brother, a gleeful Bob sneaks off by himself to celebrate. And when Dob discovers his brother in a truly dangerous spot, no one wants to listen when he runs for help. What tool can he call on to save poor Bob from a toothy set of jaws? With a deadpan text and humorously expressive multimedia artwork, Sean E. Avery gives a clever spin to "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," showing that even the most annoying behavior can be turned around if you have good intentions at heart.
