The beginning of my favorite cartoon firefly. SHUBERT! Of course, the book has its ups and downs, but it’s still a thumbs-up!

My only is problem is that the bully (Benny) never gets any sort of punishment for his actions. Mrs. Bookbinder, confusingly, doesn’t even intervene. WHAT?!

This is a wonderful book for your library. Children are facing the "bully" problems every day and this is a book that will show them how to respond to situations like that. It is a book that will empower children! It shows different techniques children can use to handle those situations. You could model a situation with your students and guide them to the steps Mrs. Bookbinder took to help them solve the problem. For example:
-First value healing over hurting by going to the victim first (teacher)
-Use noticing statements (teacher)
-Help student label his/her feelings
-Assess level of assertiveness in the child asking: Did you like it when....?
-Model assertiveness using tone - Make your voice like mine -

Our children are faced with the issue of bullying more and more; it's important for children to become assertive and say when something displeases them. This is a great book fro primary ad early grades.

This book model's Becky Bailey's conscious discipline. The book is about learning how to stand up for yourself and use your words. Shubert stands up to Big Benny in order to get his apple back. The children really enjoy this book and it reminds them that their words have power.
