BULLY BRIGADE
Bullies tease, embarrass, and threaten others.
Some kids are afraid to go to school because a bully calls them names,
takes their money, and hits or trips them.
If you live in a neighborhood with kids who pick fights, you might
not want to play outside or walk to a friend’s house. Bullies
don’t have friends. They have followers—kids who try to act tough
but are really scared to say “no” to the bully’s threats.
This book invites you to join the Banish Bullies Brigade. Banish means “get
rid of.” Brigade means “a team.” If you and your friends form
a team to get rid of bullies, wouldn’t life be better for the students
and teachers in your school?

The Review
The book is a 44 page illustrated publication written especially for kids.
Bully Brigade presents tools for young people to use to help them recognize
bullying behavior, reasons for why bullies may be acting as they do and how
to stop them. Writer Schuler offers specific explication regarding what it
is that bullies do; they push, take, grab and engage in other unacceptable
behaviors towards their peers. Then Schuler takes it a step further to ask,
why does the reader think a bully does this or that, and do you know a bully,
and does the bully begin fights with kids who are larger than he. Kids are
offered a chance to do some thinking about what a bully is and why the bully
may be behaving as he does. Kids are encouraged to pay attention to behavior
and not be swayed by appearance. Included in the book are pages where children
can answer questions and write their answers regarding what they have learned
about bullies and why they intimidate. A Banish Bully Badge, which the child
can cut out and wear, rounds out the work.
Educator/Author Schuler has created a thoughtful well-written work regarding
a serious problem facing many children today. Bullying on the playground
and elsewhere is a situation children, teachers and parents must understand,
confront and deal with if we are to see bullying brought to a stop. Bully
Brigade is written in understandable terms and is illustrated by pencil drawings
certain to appeal to the target audience of primary and middle grade readers.
The book is a 'read-to' for younger students and a 'read alone' for older
kids.
Writer Schuler and Illustrator Scott call upon their years of experience
within the public school system for material presented in Bully Brigade.
Vocabulary used is easily understood by children. Illustrations are to the
point and child friendly. The book will fit well in a classroom unit setting
dealing with relationships in general and bullying in particular. The book
is a good choice for pleasure reading as well as unit work, and will be one
a mentor student can use with ease when working with younger students.
Bully Brigade is a must have for the school, home school and home library.
Discounts are offered for school quantity purchases. A teacher's guide
accompanies the work.
Enjoyed the read, happy to recommend.
