Even bullies can learn to share. Why should a large animal get away with bullying a smaller one? That's what happens when Elephant takes Hippo's spot in the pond, which causes Hippo to pick on Lion, Lion to pick on Leopard, and Leopard to pick on Monkey. Vincent Nguyen's illustrations-a mix of watercolor, charcoal pencil, and digital techniques enrich the story as Monkey asks his mother for advice, and she comes up with just the right solution to solve the problem.
Jungle Bullies is a picture book for preschoolers that teaches young children to identify the act of bullying and models an appropriate response in similar situations in a fun, non threatening medium. The illustrations are colorful and friendly. The book is repetitious and predictable. This book meets State standards for early education social and emotional development and is a great character builder. "Read it again." can be heard from my grandchildren frequently this summer (ages 2 and 3). We occasionally repeat the chant together when we are driving or at the park and we observe someone trying to display bully behavior. I am so glad a fellow early educator shared this book with me.
