Oh, would that all bullying problems could be solved so easily! Mean Jean is the reigning Recess Queen, pushing and smooshing, hammering and slammering the other kids whenever they cross her. And then one day a puny new girl shows up on the playground and catches Mean Jean completely off-guard. Not only is little Katie Sue not the least bit intimidated by the bully, she actually asks her to jump rope with her. In no time flat, Jean and Katie Sue are best buddies, and the playground is safe for all again. Sure, it's simplistic, but there's a strong element of truth in this energetic rhyming story by Alexis O'Neill (Loud Emily). Bullies are people, too, and sometimes nothing is quite so effective as ingenuous disarmament. Big, bold, funny acrylic and collage illustrations by Laura Huliska-Beith (The Book of Bad Ideas) bounce right along with the text. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
Product Description
In this sassy playground romp, the irrepressible new kid dethrones the reigning reces bully by dong the unthinkable she invites her to be her friend!

 Elementary Principal's favorite book to read to his students! December 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have read hundreds, if not thousands, of children's books to my students and to my own children. Of all the books I have ever read aloud to children, this one is hands down my favorite! It reads like jazz tugging on heart strings. Powerful insights into playground bullying, school violence, and poor self-esteem are weaved through character education lessons for traits like integrity, citizenship, equality, and courage (to list only a few) that resonate with children and adults of all ages. If this one is not in your possession, consider yourself lucky that you stumbled upon it and will be adding it to your collection with your next mouse click. I give it my highest possible rating!
A Great Little Book On Bullying September 27, 2008
Fabulous messages told in an original style children will love. Every parent needs to talk about this issue of bullying early to empower their children. I recommend Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullyingfor great ideas and tips on how to give your children those skills and develop a nature that will insure that they never becoming bullies. Other children's literature by these same teacher-authors that not only have similar inspiring messages but great teaching guides for parents: Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Successand The Big Squeal: A Wild, True, and Twisted Tail.
Adorable and A Great Message June 20, 2008
Children need to be prepared to face bullies on the playground early on before school. Every Parent needs to read up on how to protect their child
from becoming a bully or victim. A great book on the topic is
Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullyingwhich I found to be generally one of the best parenting books on raising empowered kids.
Every mother of a child starting school for the first time needs this! April 6, 2008
This book was recommended by a school counselor when my child was having problems adjusting to kindergarten. Going from a class of 12 in Pre-k to a class of 20 can be overwhelming. Today, kids have to deal with so much so soon and making friends can be a challenge. Feelings can be easily hurt and different personalities are eminent. This book teaches kids about how to act when someone is bossy or a bully. It also teaches them to stick up for themselves. Not only is it a great book to have, but it's a great teacher gift too!
Have Self-Worth, Will Travel: The Recess Queen March 30, 2007
The ability to offhandedly deflate a bully, with neither anamosity nor remorse, is my idea of heaven -- and is high on my wishlist for my daughters. This snappily told story of unwavering self-worth and the power of cheerful assertion gives us hope -- and lots of laughs.
