Are there kids in your life who could benefit from a story about a boy who overcomes a bully? This is the perfect book!

A little boy is feeling sad because every day he has to face a bully. The little boy has friends: a frog, a cat, a rabbit, a cow, and other animal friends who insist on helping him. The next time the bully approaches, they all join with him and shout, "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" And it works! The bully turns around and goes away.
