 | Bully by Judith Caseley
Mickey and Jack used to be friends--until Jack turned into a bully. Now Jack picks on Mickey in the school yard and steals his cookies at lunchtime. Confused, Mickey turns to his father who advises him to stand up to Jack by telling him I don't like that! --but that sort of reasoning doesn't work on Jack. Mickey's mother reminds Mickey that Jack's mom just had a baby and that Jack might be behaving badly because he's jealous of his new sibling. Her advice to Mickey is to treat Jack with kindness. Can Mickey use kindness to stop Jack's bullying? Color illustrations accompany the text. AUTHOR: Judith Caseley
