It is very unfortunate that bullying has become so prevalent in our children's generation. Educating our children how to deal with a bully is the best way to fight this terrible trend in today's society.  Ari Mazor, in his second adorable book, tackles this topic in a sensitive, endearing, and entertaining way!The illustrations keep your attention, and the rhyming keeps you reading as the reader is taken into the world of Monkeyville, where a small monkey is being bullied by a larger one. The book teaches readers the lesson that when someone is bullied, he or she must tell someone so that the behavior can be stopped. In addition, what I particularly enjoyed was the way the monkeys treated the bully after the fact. They didn't shun him. On the contrary, they approached the bully with warmth and love. This acknowledges the fact that bullies are not really evil; they are children with social issues who also need to be nurtured and loved.We should not hate them, but feel bad for them and try to help them before they really hurt another child.I would recommend this book to children of all ages. I think it will teach a lesson not only to the children who are the targets of bullying, but to the children who might be inclined to become bullies themselves.A must read children's book in our society!
