It's not a bad book, but there are plenty of other books with the same theme.

Bully is a jerk and gets his comeuppance at the end.

Decent for the most part but the end wasn’t clear enough and went too fast.

I wasn’t excited that the author’s moral lesson was for the animals to get together and chase Bully out.

The resolution was too fast compared to the rest of the book, and my five-year-old didn’t followed it fully.

I was thinking Bully for bullfrog. Apparently Bully is a bit of a bully, which messes up the pond's atmosphere. It is easily fixed, but the frog continues to be a bully rather than learning a lesson.

the frog was really cute, hated that it was the villain.

Enjoyed the first 3/4ths, but the ending was disappointing. It felt like Bully didn’t learn a lesson.

What a gorgeous book! The illustrations are amazing. The last page has a lovely note about kindness and what it means for parents and kids to talk about as well. Just delightful!

Would have loved to have seen it end differently, come around, or something. This one had a great start for me, but fell short. I guess I could use it in class and ask students what they think should happen next, what other choices characters could have made, etc. But I think the story needs more.
