Self Defence

I feel that the book Bully Trouble will give kids a bost in their self-covendince they will fell that they can stand up to any one. It shows kids that they dont have to result to violence as the only answer. I think it will give kids a different way to settle thier differnces and teach them to stand up for their selves.

Bully Trouble

Two best friends are being bullied by a boy who steals things and teases them. The two best friends don't like him. They trick the bully. I think that the book was awesome. It could become number 1 one day.

It's useful, but...

Arlo and Robby were good friends. They hanged out together but they also encountered a bully together. The story gives insight to children that life still moves on even if they are bullied. Reading the story, children learn to deal with bully troubles through support from their friendship. I an not comfortable with how these two boys ended their bully torubles. What if children apply the strategy to their real-life bully troubles but do not get the same desirable results? I suggest adults participation to discuss with young readers different potential endings that the story might have conclued. A fair and lucky result may not be what actually happens in a real life situation.
