Sometimes things happen to me that get me into trouble. But it's not my fault!" Teach children to stop making excuses and blaming others when they make mistakes. Elementary school kids will identify with Noodle as he makes one excuse after another for his behavior and choices that lead to unwanted consequences. It just isn’t his fault that his brother’s game ran late, and he didn’t finish his homework. Or that his mom forgot to remind him to turn in his library book. By learning to accept responsibility he finds instead how to use mistakes as opportunities for problem-solving and to turn negatives into positives. This is the first title from award-winning author Julia Cook in the Responsible Me! series which strengthens character development and helps kids use better social skills at school and at home. Included at the end of the storybook are tips for parents and educators for conquering the blame game. Review: BEST books ever! - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of her books! I can't say enough about them except I think these books should be mandatory for all teachers! I love how simple the books are to read and she always gives good advice at the end on how to incorporate the coping mechanisms. I am an Occupational Therapist, single mother of 2 girls ages 8 and 10, and a Girl Scout leader to two troops. Julia Cook's book have helped me explain to my "kids" emotional and physical "conditions" in a non-judgmental and inspiring way. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL OF HER BOOKS!!!!! I also recommend you get her accompanying workbook for teachers which she has produced for several of her products. Our favorite books from Julia Cook: My Mouth is Like a Volcano (I only have to say "volcano" to my "kids" and they know they need to wait before interrupting my conversation; it's great having a "code" word so as not to "embarrass" the kids in front of others); It Isn't Easy Being a Verb (my youngest has ADHD - great resource for her); Melvin the Molar (the importance of good oral hygiene); Decibela (inside vs outside voice). I also highly recommend the book Making Friends is an Art, which was co-authored with another person (I believe). All the teachers, and pediatric OT's, I have shared these books with have gone out and immediately purchased and have used with good success. If I could give Julia Cook's books a 10/5 rating, I would. You will NOT be disappointed!!!! Review: Good book and buy for kds. - Great book for kids. I use it in mental health therapy with kids in school. Could easily be used by parents, teachers, or anyone working with kids. Great book. It is a little longer, and has bigger words. Normally it works great for anyone 3rd grade an up. I have had some success with younger kids, but it really depends on the kid. I like to emphasize to each child before I start reading that we are learning about responsibility and how blaming or giving excuses is not helpful for us. Otherwise, the first part is Noodle blaming others a lot. For the younger kids it was difficult to keep them focused until the middle/end where learning about responsibility comes in. For some of my students, the first part gave them a great ideas of excuses they could use in the future, and were confused by the middle/end when Noodles behavior was getting redirected. I think the book could have been a little shorter, or personal responsibility could have come in earlier. I have also tried reading to a student, then at another session, going through the book focused on what the people are feeling, or what Noodle could have done to demonstrait personal responsibility in each situation. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,791 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Behavioral Disorders in Special Ed. #95 in Children's Self-Esteem Books #198 in Children's School Issues | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,390 Reviews | ## Images ![But It's Not My Fault: Help Kids 5-9 Learn How to Take Responsibility (Responsible Me!) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KW6sLV5eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEST books ever! *by A***Y on July 22, 2015* LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of her books!

As the grandparent of a young teen with Asperger's, I'm here to say her books are usually the only way we can help him to understand whatever the current or new problem might be. We can talk about what he needs to say or do, but it seldom connects, as he will tune out and shut down during a parental lecture. These books have been a godsend. Speaking out of turn and/or interrupting... yep, there's one for that.Tattling, teasing, personal space, choices, responsibility, meltdowns, anxiety, worry, frustration, grief, attitude adjustment - one for each of those too. She has written so many wonderful, easy to read and comprehend, short books on social skills - the one trait so many Aspies share - I think we have purchased them all. Maybe she'll write a few books to help older teens and younger adults refine their social skills ... I'd buy them! ## Frequently Bought Together - But It's Not My Fault: Help Kids 5-9 Learn How to Take Responsibility (Responsible Me!) - That Rule Doesn't Apply to Me (Responsible Me!, 3) - I Have Ants in My Pants: A Picture Book About Learning Self-Control and Respecting Others Space --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/15505951-but-its-not-my-fault-help-kids-5-9-learn](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/15505951-but-its-not-my-fault-help-kids-5-9-learn) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
