Critics Review
“Aimed at 4 to 8 year olds this picture book will be useful as a starter to a discussion”
* Reading Time *“An imaginative and sensitive treatment of how to deal with bullying. The lively illustrations reflect the story well, making this a very approachable book.”
* Pinerolo *“Completely relatable, whichever side of a bullying incident children have found themselves on, A Boy, His Bear and a Bully will help them to understand, to notice and to empathise with bullying and to know that it is not OK.”
* A Word About Books *“Aimed at 4 to 8 year olds this picture book will be useful as a starter to a discussion ”
* Reading Time *“This is a gentle and sweet way of helping children who may be experiencing bullying in preschool or early primary school and could also be useful for the bully. Actually it should be read with all younger children to give them an idea of what happens when people are bullied.”
* School Days Magazine *The book’s themes focus on being brave, standing up for oneself, supporting others being bullied, emotional resilience, forgiveness, friendship and kindness and like all good books the problem is solved by the bullied child himself, who discovers he has a voice, and the emotional intelligence to understand by the end of the story that his bully may need his help in how to be a friend. The descriptive illustrations do a great job at describing the characters expressions and feelings and overall this book will be enjoyed by children 3.5+
