The idea to “start with small things” to make changes is SO lovely and I hope parents reading this to kiddos take heed.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Little Tiger is excited to be going to school but isn't quite so sure about how to act around other kids. Sometimes his actions make him look like a bully and he must learn how to work with others.

This is a book about teaching children to share. Little Tiger didn't want to share at school and nobody would play with him. This is a book that every child needs to read or have read to them. It teaches an important lesson.
I received a complimentary copy from NorthSouth Books Inc via NetGalley and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

A nice story of a first-timer tiger who goes to school. Apparently he doesn't know how to share or queue, so his friends are avoiding him. A good reminder for kids who are clueless on how to behave in society. The basic rules of sharing are shown in the form of story, so parents can read to their children and educated them at the same time.

The main reason I enjoy Children’s literature is that it is a valuable instrument to teach a lesson. The illustrations were a big part of the actual lesson. The color blue helps draw the reader into the book. The blue elements made a memorable impression.

Tiger does not know how to share and as a result, none of the children wants to play with him. Considering bullying can be a problem, this lesson was important.
Luckley, Tiger’s classroom taught him how to share and play nicely.

Carol Roth, northsouthbooks, and Netgalley for the privilege of reading this book and giving an honest review.

Perfect for little ones starting school. A quick, easy read for new readers. The illustrations are cute to keep littles engaged with the book.

Perhaps too simplistic, this shows a Tiger at school being a right bloody menace, and ending up with no mates to play with, until he gets told the title phrase, and turns everything around. Still, at the same time there is no time too early to get that message across (and get it stuck there) – so I certainly see the need for this. Four stars may be me being too generous, but you may well feel I'm quite the opposite.

Sadly, bullying is occurring at an ever increasing rate. It is bad for the one who bullies and the one who is bullied. Kudos to this author for addressing the issue in a title for young children.

Little Tiger is causing chaos and unhappiness at school. He grabs, shoves and more. Of course, this cannot be allowed. How will Little Tiger learn to consider others? Read this wise book to find out.

The illustrations in this book are engaging. They can open up discussion with a child about bullying as an adult and child talk about what they see and what they think should happen.

Preschools and adults who know kids of this age who struggle with their behavior can use this title as a learning tool. Many thanks to NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for this title. All opinions are my own.

I l I like this book a lot because it teaches children about. How not to be a B u LLY. Cause it will not get you any friends and you'll have nobody to play with. I like how they have different aspects. Playground schools and you're so mean to these Children.. The book progresses and how he was left out and was very lonely. It starts to change his ways and then he realizes everybody loved him. This is a really positive book showing if you're negative this is. What's gonna happen if you're positive I'll have a lot of friends.

Little Tiger has just begun school and hasn't quite learned the concept of sharing and being a good friend. He soon learns that he hates school because, during breaks, he has no one to play with since he is being viewed by the other animals as a bully. One day, the teacher sees Little Tiger sitting in the classroom and he is in tears. The teacher asks him what the problem is and he says no one wants to play with him. The teacher tells him plainly which I liked as there was no sugar-coating - Don't be a Bully, Little Tiger as this is what makes them exclude you. I loved the fact that this story was straight-up as we now live in a world that I call the snowflake generation as people get offended by the slightest thing as it's not woke to be harsh and blunt. With this new wake-up call and hard truth, our Little Tiger starts to learn to share and become a friend and in return - he starts playing with others and having the best time of his life at school. Don't be a Bully, Little Tiger by Carol Roth Rashin is the perfect read for children aged 3-6 years old.

Thanks to NetGalley for access to an eARC in exchange for an honest review!!

I got this book initially just to read to my niece and my nephews, but I ended up enjoying it a lot myself, too. The story of the little tiger learning that you have to be kind to others if you want to make friends presents the important lessons of kindness, but also patience and understanding, and teaches young readers a lot about friendship as a concept, too. Definitely one that I would want on my kids' shelves one day so they can see how to and not to make friends.

Don't be a Bully, Little Tiger written by Carol Roth is a heartwarming story about a little tiger who is starting school, but he hasn't quite figured out the social norms of a classroom yet. These are things like taking turns and not grabbing things from other people.

As the parent of two young, school aged children I thought this was a valuable story because it was presented from tiger's perspective. Oftentimes when we read stories about anti-bullying they are from the perspective of the person receiving the bullying. This is what makes the story unique.

The illustrations are cute and child-like and they really drew in my children because it reminded them of being at school.

Both my children loved listening to this story and were very happy to see a '"happy ending" for little Tiger. Thanks to the publisher for allowing me to share this advance copy with my children. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book provided by the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A wonderful book about being a good friend with dynamic, playful illustrations and a child-centred story. In "Don't Be a Bully, Little Tiger," Little Tiger struggles to control his impulses and respect other students at school. Soon he finds himself along with no one to play with. He begins to change his ways and finds that school is much better when shared with friends.

Little tiger doesn't know how to make friends. He snatches the toys, jumps in line and drives all the friends away. A good story with the message how to make good friends at school 💙

Don't Be a Bully, Little Tiger is a good children's book. It clearly told the story of Tiger who wanted to do everything alone and make his own fun, until he realized that doing everything he wanted to do alone was not as fun. He asked a teacher how he could become included and took the good advice. Turning his bad/selfish actions into good ones allowed him to make friends and other classmates wanted to play with him.

Thank you to Carol Roth, NorthSouth Books and NetGalley for allowing myself and my son the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Don’t be a bully, Little Tiger is a fine read to teach kids about kindness, friendliness and basic social conventions. The illustrations are a bit “raw”, but work well to convey the sense of chaos that Little Tiger create by misbehaving with his classmates. The worthy message is conveyed in an efficient way, with a cast of cute animals. Highly recommended!

I understand the message this book is trying to portray, but it's just not done well at all. The author is telling the audience, young children, that because another child is struggling with sharing, turn taking etc, they are a bully. However, most of the time, that is absolutely not true. A bully is someone who intentionally hurts and upsets others for their own enjoyment. Little Tiger, along with a lot of young children starting school, are still learning how to interact with other children in playtime situations. Not all children learn to share, and take turns at the same time as their peers. Some children take a bit longer to learn that, some have autism or ADHD and that increases their struggles and understanding of those concepts. I don't think this book takes into consideration the reasons why some children struggle with these things but instead pins them as bullies that should be avoided.

As a momma with a little one about to head to school soon, i really enjoyed this story and enjoyed sharing it with my child.
This book isn't your typical book about bullying(What to do when you're bullied, etc.) But instead is a book about the bully. This not only teaches kids how to handle these situations, but also shows them how not to act and how harmful their actions and words can truly be,
both me and my daughter absolutely loved the illustrations as well! They were so cute and had a child like look to them making them more enjoyable and fun for us.


Thank you NorthSouth Books and Netgalley for the advanced copy

Little Tiger goes to school but does not yet know how to play well with others. He learns that the words he says and the actions he takes, if unkind, might keep others from wanting to be his friends. When his teacher gives him a few pointers, he decides to change the way he speaks and acts with his classmates. In the end, he realizes that if he is kind, others will want to be his friends.

This hardcover picture book is suitable for the indicated 4-8 yr old age group. It incorporates original and playful characters that are caricatures of identifiable animals. The characters are named for their animal class, such as Tiger, Wolf or Mouse. Although humanized, the reader can use these names to reinforce the child’s knowledge of animal identification. Further discussions could include how to speak to others, how to share with others and how to wait until it is your turn.

This book is nicely illustrated using a continual bold color scheme that catches the eye. The details included in the settings and characters offer multiple objects to talk about and explore while reading the story.

I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.

Little Tiger is excited about school but his behavior pushes all the other kids away until he’s alone with no one to play with. His teacher’s suggestion helps him make better decisions, reconcile with his classmates, and turn his day around.

This was a nice story kids can really learn from. Little Tiger’s story shows why kindness matters and how you should treat others the way you’d want to be treated. That no one likes or wants to be friends with a bully. And that making good choices can lead to good or better outcomes. I also liked the art style and color palate. I was dazzled by the illustrations and details.

Thank you to NorthSouth Books and NetGalley for the eARC to read in exchange for an honest review!
