Not a fan of this book. I’m a primary school teacher and when I was given this book for guided reading with my 7-8 year olds, I wasn’t very excited.

The book has strange morals for a children’s novel. Essentially teaching children that when there’s a problem, you don’t need to go to an adult and you can physically attack someone doing wrong. Plus, there were drawings with children holding up their middle fingers from their other ones having been bitten off! Wouldn’t recommend this book for other primary teachers I’m afraid.
