"The Bad Guys is a timely book that addresses a subject we wish was non-existent. The message of this book enables children to be aware of potential danger as well as how to communicate and respond in a time of crisis."
--Darrell Scott, Founder, and President of Rachel's Challenge
"All schools are safe havens for students but it is critically important for students to report threatening behavior from classmates and to take proper steps when their safety is at risk from outside intruders. This book shares some ideas on how to make school environments safer."
--Michael Kehoe, Chief of Police Newtown, Connecticut
"While we continue to work on building a safer and more aware society, this kind of book is important. The Bad Guys begins teaching kids what is normal to see at school and what is not, and what they should do if they hear or see something that does not seem 'normal' in the context of school safety."
--Laura Fronckiewicz, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, Colorado Chapter Co-Leader

Review Quotes
Jude Urbanski
5.0 out of 5 stars Every Teacher and Every Student Needs to Know this.
The author dedicates this book to the Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut in solidarity for the healing in the aftermath of its violence in December 2012.
Teachers, counselors, and students will welcome this latest book by child-advocate author Julie K. Federico, who, in prior books, Some Parts are not for Sharing and Anger is Okay, Violence is Not, brought us the adorable friendly fish, who talked with preschoolers about body safety and domestic violence.
She's back with those cute little friends and this time is talking about violence in schools and how students and teachers can carry out steps to help keep their schools safe.
Included is a supplemental teachers' guide and a students' journal, which sets forth usable, yet significant, steps both teachers and students may take to help promote a safer environment.
This book should belong to every teacher, every school library and of every family with school children.
