Books with author Tony Ross

Author and illustrator Tony Ross skillfully navigates the problem of bullying in this humorously illustrated book. He presents an even-handed story that succeeds in engaging sympathy for both the bully�s victim and the bully himself. In a simply-told rhyming tale, a little boy asks his pet dog why a bully is picking on him. �... is it because he�s got silly names? Is it because he�s no good at games?� After asking many more �is it because� questions, the little boy finally concludes, �. . . perhaps it�s because he�d rather be me!� Here is food for thought, told in a style that will appeal to younger boys and girls. Color illustrations on every page.
