Mr. Fish and all his friendsLove to play down at the park.But that ends when they’re bulliedBy a misbehaving shark! Mr. Fish wants to help.He knows bullying is wrong!But he’s just one fish–Is he really that strong? In this board book conversion of the jacketed hardcover, the New York Times-bestselling Pout-Pout Fish teaches a bully shark about kindness and being a friend. Swim along as he discovers the strength of his community, and the power of his own voice.
This is a great book about the power of words to conquer bullying and does a great job of showing the inner dilemmas and negative emotions that bullying creates in its victims, while still being kid-friendly and upbeat. The rhyming and repetition of the "chorus" of the book became surprising powerful the more times it was repeated, particularly combined with the power dynamic between a shark and a fish that even little readers understand.
