Freddie learns an important lesson about talking less... and listening more.

Freddie the Fly likes to talk and talk and talk.
He's so busy buzzing about the latest gossip, he can't listen to anyone else.

Freddie doesn't realize how much of a chatterbox he is until he meets Mesquita. Her mile-a-minute mouth mystifies Freddie... until he realizes he and Mesquita have a lot in common!

Freddie the Fly: Motormouth is a humorous take on the problem of talking too much, listening too little, and struggling to wait your turn. This is the first in Kimberly Delude's children's picture book series Freddie the Fly. Delightfully illustrated by Brian Martin, Freddie's story will entertain children while teaching them the important social skill of "Listening to Others."

This colorful storybook is appropriate for readers in PreK through 5th grade, as well as children who may find controlling their conversations with others a challenge.

Included at the end of the story are tips for parents and educators in starting a discussion with children how to be excited about listening to others and learning from it.

The series also includes:

• Freddie the Fly: Connecting the Dots
• Freddie the Fly: Bee On, Buzz Off
• Freddie and Friends: Becoming Unstuck
• Freddie the Fly: Truth or Care
• Freddie and Friends: Bugging Out
• Freddie the Fly: Seeing Through Another Lens
