Little bill has twelve chances to say something mean.My favorite part was when Little Bill said so alot. Auryn 7yo

My 4-year-old enjoys the Little Bill series, plus this book had an excellent message about how to make and keep friends.

This book features the Little Bill characters. They don't look exactly like the cartoon (I thought the cartoon was cuter and "gentler" looking.) However, ds seemed to like these illustrations quite a lot and would point things out in them--like how humongous their shoes are!

The story is a new kid comes and starts a game where they have to say mean things to each other. Later Bill's dad teaches him to just respond with "So?" When Little Bill does this, the game ends and he and the other boy become friends. It teaches a good technique for fighting teasing.

I thought this was a funny and clever way of dealing with bullying. In the story, a new student is trying to get other kids to play a game where they say the meanest things to one another that they can think of. Bill is struggling trying to think of things to say back to the boy at the next day of school when his dad gives him an idea. The next day when the new kid was trying to initiate the others to say mean things, Bill keeps saying "so" and it works like a charm. No one was bullied in that way again and everyone ended up being good friends. I would use this in the classroom to teach students how to offset, prevent, and stop bullying. It's a simple story with a strong message of how children can stand up for themselves, others, and override bullying with humor. I loved this story and the underlying theme that it teaches us, kids and adults alike!!

Very Cute. The boys loved this one!!
