Sounds like a wonderful book where it can help creatively and emotionally with its anti-bullying message. When I tried to empower her, she showed overly aggressive behaviors.

This is a good book to teach a child how not to be a victim--yet not be a bully. It's difficult to teach Kindergardeners a middle ground as they tend to be extremists. The best compliment I got after reading her this book was when she said "You're my number One".

A wonderful book that grows with a child. For a while my child enjoyed talking about the colors. Then he enjoyed counting the numbers and now at 2. It is a story that will become more meaningful to him as he grows. This story tells an important message of speaking up for what is right in a clever and inventive way. I got this book to help my five year old son with empathy and caring for others. The story is cute, the colors and numbers are a great way to keep a young child entertained, and the storyline is something school aged children can really relate to bully that nobody stands up to.

My only issue is that when the colors turn into numbers, they say that they want to "count" meaning matter but my son thought they wanted to "count" like It took me about 5 minutes to explain that "count" has two meanings and I'm still not sure he got it. Either way, he enjoyed it so much that he asked me to re-read it two more times that night. I expect he'll pull this one off the shelf more often than not. I would definitely recommend this to parents of children aged 3 to about 7 if you're trying to teach caring for yourself and others.

The artwork is absolutely beautiful. The colors look stunning on the bright white background, and the painted style conveys movement really well.
