4.0
INSULTS AREN'T FUNNY: What to do About Verbal Bullying
Written by Amanda F. Doering
Illustrated by Simone Shin
2015, 24 Pages
Genre: picture book, children's, bullying
★★★1/2
I am not a parent but I feel that the issue of bullying should be on everyone's radar. To stop bullying from escalating or moving from verbal to physical we as adult have to make ourselves present and approachable. In this book we see poor Casey - who loves playing soccer - verbally insulted by fellow teammate Dana. Dana picks on Casey over everything that goes wrong. Casey soon not only starts to dislike the game but also feel fear. A friend that sees this bullying instructs Casey to trust an adult and he goes to his coach. This action that causes Dana to stop bullying him and Casey returns to the love of soccer.
I enjoyed the way that Doering tells the story but also educates us on what is happening and how to go about stopping someone else's behaviour. This is a good book for adults and kids to sit down together to read.
