Lion is a big
bully, all the animals want him to stop, but they are too afraid to confront
him. They put out an ad, but even a bear and a tiger can’t stop him. When a
rabbit shows up, Lion know he can beat him. But Lion doesn't count on how smart
that rabbit is!
Great artwork,
colorful, quirky, unique, amazing color palate. From an educational/school
library perspective this story doesn't quite make the cut for me. Bullies are
stupid? Trick them by cheating then they will suddenly stop being bully’s? Hire
someone to confront a bully for you? Although I liked the bunnies trick, being
a bit of a trickster myself -I just think this topic is so important that I
would like to see better solutions from a book if it’s going to be added to my
school library.
