This is such a lovely little book and covers such an important topic. Bullying is a very real thing in schools, and as my kids get older, I need to prepare them for situations in which they may face bullies or see others bullying someone. Pickles and the P-Flock Bullies is a really good way to introduce the topic in an easy way. In addition to having an important message, the book has lovely illustrations... This is a nice book from one of my favorite pairs of authors/illustrators and would be a lovely addition to any child's home library!
