5 STARS!
This is a FREE book that anyone
can read about dealing with bullies. You can either download
to your computer, it takes only seconds, or open it up from
the site. It looks like a picture book! Simply click the arrow
to turn each page. And just like a "print" book,
the reader sees the page flip. COOL!
The story is set in an elementary school and teaches how
a bully operates and what your child and you can do to stop
it all. There is also a multiple choice quiz for parents/teachers
and children to do together. For the younger kids, there are
lots of wonderful drawings that can be printed out for coloring.
Highly recommended reading for ages 6 - 12.

Praise for The Bully:
By Dr. Bob Rich
".... Many people dismiss bullying as just 'high spirits',
'toughening up', 'part of life'. It isn't. It is a junior
version of criminal activity, and it causes immense harm.
What's more, it causes as much harm to the bully as to the
victim. Many habitual residents of jails cut their teeth in
the school ground, and if they'd been stopped then, they might
have grown into law-abiding members of society. So, we all
suffer from bullying.
This wonderful little book by Rita Toews addresses the problem
in a way that will appeal to senior elementary school students.
It offers advice I know to be valid and effective. It gives
detailed, specific steps to take, reinforced by drawings that
will raise a smile, and a quiz for both kids and their parents.
...."
The format is intriguing: it is a book on the screen of your
computer. Click an arrow, and the page turns. The program
for producing a book like this is 'Desktop Author', supplied
by DNAML.
It is clear, easy to use and easy to view. Kids will love
it.
