Loudmouth George handles a similar situation in a similar manner in Nancy Carlson's Loudmouth George and the Sixth-Grade Bully. Carlson's illustrations are full of warmth and feelings and kids can't get enough of the heros and heroines she creates. Fighting a bully alone can be traumatizing. I love George's growth in finally deciding to share his problem with a friend. In children's literature, you may not always find typical school situations.
Schools are sometimes a setting for laughter, as they are in real life.
You may find some odd characters in schools, like Mr. Jones from Amy Schwartz's Bea and Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones is as fed up with his advertising firm as his kindergarten daughter is fed up with school. Amy Schwartz has a wonderful time with the theme she sets and so do readers of all ages who've considered just such a change. There are strange schools as well as odd characters. In Earthlets, as explained by Professor Xargle , Jeanne Willis and illustrator, Tony Ross show us an alien school.
