Oprah book club read.

I enjoyed this and am going to look for more of the "Little Bill" books.

I read this book every year to my 6 year old students!! A great lesson and words given to children when they feel threatened by s bully!

About bullying and a good way to diffuse it.

This one also had a good meaning behind it. No one has to submit to peer pressure, especially when it's being mean to each other. There are alternative paths to take, and those paths may change the way other people think as well. Nice lesson learned.

a quick & cute read that doesn't get preachy about how to handle a playground bully.

Qur’an: Chapter 26, Verse 111, 120—
They said: “Are we to believe in you while the meanest people follow you?” … So We rescued him and anyone who was with him on the laden ship. Then later on We let those remained drown.

This book was easy to read, but it was a little tiny bit harder than the Elephant and Piggie books.

The story was realistic. It was about when people in school talk bad or say bad words to you, trying to look cool. The main character was intelligent and did not fall for that old trick, but it was more of a story than just a nonfiction book telling you what to do.

Anyway what I liked in the story was that it showed how to take control in a positive way, not by crying OR fighting.

Those of you who grew up watching "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" like I did will find these easy readers very familiar. In this story from the series, Little Bill has a problem with a new student at school who wants everyone to play a new game. The game involves giving the worst insults you can to others, trying to say "the meanest thing" in order to win. But with some help from his family, Bill comes up with the perfect response.

Great for parents, teachers, and guidance counselors who are dealing with topics of bullying, insults, and peer pressure.

This book brought back some childhood memories for me because I remember watching the TV show "little Bill," when I was younger, which is based off of the same characters in this book. I think that this book teaches a lesson about getting along and bullying in a realistic way that kids will be able to relate to. I like how at the end of the story, the bully realizes that nothing good is coming out of putting down other people.

I think that this would be a great read aloud to discuss bullying in the classroom. It could be read at the beginning of the year to prevent problems, or later in the year if problems arise. It could also be a good independent reading for a student that has been bullied or has the history of being a bully. This would help both of them realize that bullying is not the solution.

This book shows a good use of dialogue. It contains many conversations and would help children learn how to follow dialogue in a book. The dialogue is simple, but it is an essential part of the story.

I read Bill Cosby's /Time Flies/, which wasn't that great.

Not recommended

A great story that many kids can either relate to or learn a lesson from, since it has to do with bullying and how to deal with bullies. It's a great story for using the text-to-self strategy, relating to times when someone's said something mean to you and how it made you feel.
