Don't Be a Bully, Little Tiger - by Carol Roth (Hardcover)

Little Tiger goes to school but does not yet know how to play well with others. He learns that the words he says and the actions he takes, if unkind, might keep others from wanting to be his friends. When his teacher gives him a few pointers, he decides to change the way he speaks and acts with his classmates. In the end, he realizes that if he is kind, others will want to be his friends. This hardcover picture book is suitable for the indicated 4-8 yr old age group. It incorporates original and playful characters that are caricatures of identifiable animals. The characters are named for their animal class, such as Tiger, Wolf or Mouse. Although humanized, the reader can use these names to reinforce the child’s knowledge of animal identification. Further discussions could include how to speak to others, how to share with others and how to wait until it is your turn. This book is nicely illustrated using a continual bold color scheme that catches the eye. The details included in the settings and characters offer multiple objects to talk about and explore while reading the story. I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.
