Book Review- For Parents and their Kids

"The Bully Blockers Club," by Teresa Bateman. Illustrated by Jackie Urbanovic. Picture book with sentences. Do you have a child who is upset because they are being bullied at school? Have them read this inspirational book. It shows ways to overcome it. The best idea is the buddy system, which I've always supported. Five friends who stick together against one bully really helps. The book's story revolves around Lotty, a raccoon who is being pestered by a school bully. Each day of the week she tries different ways to cope with the situation. This book is for first graders (if you read it to them) to forth graders (because I like the sensible ideas in the book).
