(Stand Up: Bullying Prevention Series). glossary. index. photos. websites. Rosen / PowerKids Pr. 2013. PLB $22.60; ebook $22.60. Gr 2-3 While these books confront different aspects of bullying, much of the information is repeated across the set. Most volumes emphasize that bystanders are part of the problem, encourage readers to team up with their friends to stop bad behavior, mention creating bully-free schools, and end with a page discussing respect and/or summarizing key points. The information and advice are solid; all the titles suggest telling an adult. What You Can Do lets readers know that if someone seems disinclined to help them they shouldn't give up. However, students will have to slog through many pages to get to information about the titular topic. Though bullies may not pick up Are You a Bully? voluntarily, students assigned to read it will find sympathetic advice on gaining the trust of those whom they hurt, as well as self-forgiveness. Captioned color photos illustrate the pages. Elementary schools and public libraries should pick and choose individual volumes as needed.
This book is designed for readers who are dealing with bullying. Chapters focus on defining, reassuring, helping kids get the bully to stop, and rebuilding self-esteem. Readers will be provided with tips on creating a respectful bully-free environment to their school.
