Children in grades K-6 can read along and listen to the author's entertaining rendition of RJ's social skill story on the accompanying CD. One track features the text only while a second track includes cues on when to turn the page for youngsters just learning to read. RJ is a youngster who always says what he thinks no matter how it sounds or makes others feel. RJ doesn't realize his words are wrong. He thinks he's just speaking the truth and offering feedback. RJ learns how to use a social filter before he speaks and to give positive feedback, or none at all.

With help from his parents, he learns he doesn't have to verbalize every thought that pops into his head. In fact, sometimes the less said the better! The skills RJ learns in this story are part of the Boys Town Education Model that has improved student behavior and classroom climates in hundreds of schools across the country. Includes an Audio CD .

Industry Reviews

"RJ is such a relatable character - nearly everyone has experienced a momentary lapse of their social filter! This book describes the connection between thoughts and appropriate social responses, using contexts that children have likely encountered themselves. A perfect resource to introduce children to the importance of social mindfulness." - Jill D. Kuzma, M.A., CCC-SLP

I have purchased many of Julia Cook's books. They are very good for working with Elementary school children. This book in particular, I can't believe you said that! is a wonderful resource for working with students on what to say and what to think. Boy's Town Press seems to have the best prices as well. - M Wawrzynski

This book is so great - an oldie but a goodie for talking about social filters and thinking before we speak. I'm wrapping up using it with my fourth graders tomorrow and reflecting on a change I've made when reading it (letting in some laughs!). Shared a little more in my instastories (and will share more about the lesson tomorrow). - Sara, @theresponsivecounselor
