A fun and straightforward story about a bully who learns kindness. I can see this being educational for children and a great resource to have in classrooms. The illustrations are lively and I loved the predominant use of red. This is a quick but effective read for instilling good values in kids.

I think this was such an adorable book! My son really loved it and we both really loved the illustrations. The story was cute and had such a good message by the end. I highly recommend this one for preschoolers!

Little Tiger is struggling with his behavior at school, such as being nice to others and taking turns. This book is a good way to teach these lessons to young children. Some of the vocabulary used could be a lesson, as well. The illustrations are engaging. I didn't love the cover, however. It would be a nice addition to a classroom.

Little Tiger wants to have fun at school but he has to learn to be kind to make friends. This book was so adorable. My 4 year old son was so in love with the characters and the pictures. This is a perfect addition to a bookshelf of a small one who is getting ready to start attending classes with new people.

I'd like to thank both NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for approving my request to read this book. It seemed like it would be a great way for little ones to learn about sharing and being nice to one another, and I wasn't disappointed.

The illustrations of this children's book were done exceptionally well, and if I were a child, I would have absolutely loved the pictures. The author did a phenomenal job of teaching the importance of sharing and being nice to your classmates. It gives parents and teachers the perfect way to open a dialogue with three, four, and even five year old children about the topics of sharing and bullying in an age appropriate way.

My only complaint, and it's not really a complaint, is that it the teacher only said one thing to Little Tiger. I feel like this particular scene could have been a tad bit longer and even better with a bit more explanation.

If I were a preschool or kindergarten teacher, this is a book that would definitely be read to students. Four out of five stars is what I give Don't Be A Bully, Little Tiger by Carol Roth.

I received a free copy of, Don't Be A Bully, Little Tiger, by Carol Roth. from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Nobody likes bully's. Little Tiger does not understand or know how to share or express himself yet. He wants what he wants now, regardless if someone else is playing with or using what he wants. Little Tiger made almost all of his classmates cry and sad. Little Tigers teacher told him if he wants friends he has to be nice to people. This is a good book, their are so many bullies today, if they read this book, they might stop bullying.

It's Little Tiger's first day at school and he can't wait to attend. But Little Tiger didn't know how to get along with others very well. Instead of sharing and being courteous, Little Tiger bullied his way around the classroom. As a result, Little Tiger didn't have any friends and no one wanted to play with him. Until...his teacher told him that if he's nice to others, they in turn will be nice to him. And that made all the difference in the world.

Don't Be A Bully Little Tiger is a cute storybook with life's lessons. The teaching moment is subtle but it is still effective.

Though I loved the story, I didn't particularly care for the illustrations. I would have preferred bolder colors that popped out from the pages. The characters, though, are still adorable.

Overall, Don't Be A Bully, Little Tiger is the perfect book for preschoolers and parents who want to instill a lesson in sharing. Four loveable stars.

I received a digital ARC from NorthSouth Books through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.

*Thank you to NorthSouth Books Inc., NorthSouth Books and NetGalley for providing me this arc in echange for an honest review*

This was a really cute story about a tiger who was mean to his friends at school and they stopped playing with him. When his teacher said to him that he should be nice, he tried and changed their minds. It was a really cute book and the educational purposes were to the point. If you want to be treated nice, you have to be nice first. Respect is earned. I would highly suggest this book especially to those who have kids.. and to some adults!

Don’t Be A Bully, Little Tiger is a colourful, straightforward, and engaging story about a little Tiger starting out at school and needing to learn how to share and play with other kiddos (without being a bully).
My munchkin loved the illustrations and all of the bright fun colours and animals in the story. The story teaches a simple but very important lesson to preschoolers.

Thank you NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for the opportunity to read and review an ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Oh, Little Tiger! You had a lot to learn and, to your credit, seem to have learned fast. This is a short, sweet picture book with simple illustrations and a basic color palette. There's even diversity, well, if you consider different animal species chosen as being diverse. In any case, they're cute.

The message is simple. If you want friends to be nice to you, you need to be nice to them. Other children don't want to play with you if you're mean to them.I liked that the book showed several simple ways to be kind rather than simply saying, "Be nice". I can definitely envision discussions that might grow from the different scenarios, ranging from "What did Little Tiger do that wasn't nice?" to "How would you react if someone wasn't nice to you?" Just the illustrations alone can be a discussion point, starting with "What is the cover drawing showing us even before we start the book?" Yes, lots of teaching moments. What can I say, sometimes the retired teacher in me just can't help seeing teaching moments.

Bottom line, an easy book to read to children that can open up lines of discussion. I, of course, liked the teacher's role in helping Little Tiger find his nice side. Thanks to #NetGalley and #NorthSouthBooks for letting me pop back into a classroom for awhile to meet Little Tiger and his now new friends.

Don't Be a Bully, Little Tiger is a fantastic read aloud lesson about friendship. Little Tiger is a cute protagonist and you want him to have friends. This story would be perfect for a pre-k classroom. I love the the bright primary colors used in the illustrations and of course the lesson against bullying. Hopefully as Little Tiger learns to share and be nice your littles can too!

This was short and sweet and to the point! Little Tiger was constantly being a bully to everyone, so he found himself alone and without anyone to play or paint with! So, what did he do? He talked to his teacher who told him maybe he needed to be a little nicer, so he was! He didn't hog things or bulldoze towers. He invited others to play with him politely and didn't overpower every situation. And look! FRIENDS!

Ugh, I just thought it was so cute. I loved the illustrations! It made it so digestible for kids to understand as well, which was great. Definitely sending this to other librarian and teacher friends to order!

Little Tiger can't wait to go to school! His only problem is he doesn't know how to share. He wants everything for himself. It does not take him long to discover that is no way to make friends. With a gentle nudge from his teacher, Little Tiger discovers he rather share and be kind than be alone and lonely.

Great new picture book perfect for young readers!

Thank you to NetGalley and NorthStar Publishing for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

A cute way to teach the youngest of readers to not be a bully and what happens when we are nice to others as opposed to when we are mean.

This is a cute story about the importance of being kind to others. It's told in a way that young ones can easily understand

This book shows how action and words can make or break friendships in a way that children can understand. It is recommended for preschoolers and those starting school but would be of benefit through first grade. During the pandemic many children were kept at home and weren’t able to be socialized. The book would not be too young even for an intellectually advanced 7 year old. The pictures are well done and the message is to the point. I will be sharing this with my 7 year old grandson and anticipate him enjoying the book and thinking on the message. Thank you to NetGalley and NorthSouth Publishers for the digital ARC. This review is my own.

The story itself is well done and has some great teaching moments for little ones starting school/preschool or who may have a problem with sharing. I don’t love that it’s called “Don’t be a bully…” As a mom of 3 I know that bullying is an issue but I feel like calling it out like that is kind of meh. It could have talked about manners or sharing or how to be a good friend. That’s my only problem with it!

Tiger likes being first on the slide and not taking turns. He was bully with class mates and he soon learned you can't make friends when you act like a bully. When he realizes that being kind in play, you have all kinds of friends. You and your child will pick up on the contrast of the bully Tiger and kind Tiger. A great starter on a conversation with your children on what it looks like to be a bully and how you can be kind.

A special thank you to NorthSouth Books and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.
