Bookroo's summary

Isabella, known as 'Decibella' for her booming voice, disrupts class and annoys friends. Her teacher introduces her to the 'five volumes' of voice: Whisper, 6-inch, Table-Talk, Strong Speaker, and Outside. As Isabella practices with the fun word 'Slurpadoodle,' she discovers the power of using the right voice at the right time. Will she master the art of communication and find her place among her peers? This engaging tale teaches young readers the importance of adapting their voice to different settings, making communication a fun and essential skill.

From the publisher

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. Communicate with Confidence book series also includes other great storybooks written by Julia Cook!. Well, I Can Top That!
