Brilliant fun and educational for young kids. * * * * *I very much enjoyed reading this book although I bought three paperbacks for the grandchildren of two of my friends. I loved the funny use of rhyme. What I liked the most is the way the verse educates young children about bullying and self-esteem, in a fun and entertaining way. It would be a wonderful book for teachers. Cynthia.
