Oh, would that all bullying problems could be solved so easily! Mean Jean is the reigning Recess Queen, pushing and smooshing, hammering and slammering the other kids whenever they cross her. And then one day a puny new girl shows up on the playground and catches Mean Jean completely off-guard. Not only is little Katie Sue not the least bit intimidated by the bully, she actually asks her to jump rope with her. In no time flat, Jean and Katie Sue are best buddies, and the playground is safe for all again. Sure, it's simplistic, but there's a strong element of truth in this energetic rhyming story by Alexis O'Neill (Loud Emily). Bullies are people, too, and sometimes nothing is quite so effective as ingenuous disarmament. Big, bold, funny acrylic and collage illustrations by Laura Huliska-Beith (The Book of Bad Ideas) bounce right along with the text. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

 Adorable and A Great Message June 20, 2008
Children need to be prepared to face bullies on the playground early on before school. Every Parent needs to read up on how to protect their child
from becoming a bully or victim. A great book on the topic is
Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullyingwhich I found to be generally one of the best parenting books on raising empowered kids.
Have Self-Worth, Will Travel: The Recess Queen March 30, 2007
The ability to offhandedly deflate a bully, with neither anamosity nor remorse, is my idea of heaven -- and is high on my wishlist for my daughters. This snappily told story of unwavering self-worth and the power of cheerful assertion gives us hope -- and lots of laughs.
Must have February 7, 2007
This book is amazing. Great Story! Great Illustrations!
You will die laughing! Has a wonderful lesson.
We All Know Her/Him January 4, 2007
Alexis has captured with humor and accuracy the school bully, and what is driving her behavior. This book empowers students to look at a common problem they may encounter, and gives them a new perspective for looking at and dealing with this person.
 Great childrens book! November 5, 2006

This book is a wonderfully illustrated book about how to overcome bullying. The power of cooperation and making friends is the key to success here.
This illustrations are vibrantly colored and have a lot of detail so they keep any child interested. And the story is definitely a feel-good winner. My little girl loved this book she had checked out from the library so much we had to buy our own copy!
