Take a quick peek inside of each 8" by 7" storybook that teaches children how to effectively
deal with individual bully situations. Each fun and encouraging story addresses one bully
scenario at a time. These wonderful storybooks are filled with colorful illustrations, easy
to read text for beginning readers, and easy to understand concepts of problem solving.
As an added feature, each story has a simple question and answer section in the middle
and at the end that allows children to express their opinions and draw conclusions from
proposed actions in the story. These storybooks are great for one on one readings at
bedtimes, during classroom and group discussions, and of course with those youngsters
who want to solve their problem by themselves without tattling....
