Description
This comic-style guide teaches students in grades 3-6 how
to prevent and stop bullying on their own or with adult help. Ostensibly
written by the two title characters, the guide covers bullying basics,
ways to get bullying to stop (for both targets and bystanders), what to
do if you are being bullied, and how to get an adult to help the right
way. The two title characters explain and demonstrate the concepts,
providing students with easy-to-follow examples they can apply to their
own bullying problems. The guide also contains a special section for
students in grades K-2, designed to be read with an adult, which covers
friendship basics and prepares students for the aggression they will
face in the upper grades. The guide is designed to appeal to boys and
girls and covers both dominance and relational aggression. Note: interior illustrations are in black and white.

I always look for a chance to showcase resources about bullying, and my explorations recently led me to “What YOU Can Do About Bullying.”
This book offers a comprehensive explanation of bullying. Accurate terms for types of bullying are presented in an easy-to-understand way, and the targets of bullying receive the essential message that bullying is not their fault.

Lots of adult vocabulary; so I think this book would work best with an adult reading/leading a discussion or one-on-one reading session (parent-child) so concepts can be explained as the reading takes place. Overall, a good guide.

I loved this book so much! It really showed some amazing lessons for kids! So many kids are bullied these days so to see such a great book for kids to see not only how to stop it but to notice it, help others, show adults how to help and it affects others! It was such a great and easy way to see these things! It was also so great because it was a type of book that kids will love!!! Such an amazing book!!!

This was a good one to read with my niece and nephew. It led to several good talking points with them. And, then the examples and situations really helped it to "click" a bit more in their minds. I would recommend this to anyone who has younger children and wants a good starting place to talk about this.

This is a fantastic book. I know that there are many books out there that are aimed at teaching children about bullying but this one is by far one of the greatest. Instead of a novel with a bullying theme, this is a comic style book in which Max and Zoe discuss bullying and how it impacts others. I shared a few pages with my 9-10 year olds and they thought it was brilliant and have demanded that I purchase it to have as a class book. They found it engaging and interested and certainly liked the fact that it was a comic. Needless to say this is a rather invaluable resource, and one that I am going to recommend to other educators as well as parents. While it is clearly written for the American education system, there is no reason why this cannon be used is school across the world.

Excellent resource for E-M schoolers/families. Great discussion facilitator.

A helpful book for young children dealing with bullying.
Elle M, Reviewer
This is a book I really think parents should pick up not just for their kids, but for themselves as well.
This book covers what children in different age groups should do to address bullying.
It’s a really good book that gives an insight into how to approach your children and how to guide them. Unfortunately we live in a time when bullying has become such a problem and broaching the subject is hard. This book really takes a helpful and instructing approach to bulling.
