Bullying



Book Details
Bullying by Bruce Sanders is set up by questions and answers that also include one of the following things: Did You Know, Think About It, Talk About It, My Story, and You Decide.  In the answers to the questions several possibilities are laid out.  Some of the questions answered include: What is bullying?, Why tease me?, What is wrong with gangs?, Who can help?, Should I tell on bullies?, and What if I’m a bully?.  This helps give tweens a better understanding of what they should look for and how to help prevent bullying.  The book also includes pictures showing some bullying instances, helpful materials including books and websites, and why the subject is important.  An index and table of contents is included.

Review
It does a nice job of summarizing what bullying is, what it looks like, who to tell, and how to stop bullying.


Interest Age/Reading Level
I believe that this book is appropriate for tweens in 4th and 5th grade.
