Excellent teaching tool

Sticks, Stones, and Stumped is a readily understandable story that is most effective in showing children the positive effects of taking an anti-bullying stand. The characters are aptly named for their roles in the story. It is a great read aloud book for first and second graders.

A Must Have

This is a great book for the classroom and parents to introduce character values to children before they start school or in elementary grades. The animals create a true story of feels from the view of the target, bystander and adult. Effective strategies and solutions for all involved in a loving caring way.

Great Resource for Both the Home and the Classroom!

Deb Landry uses animals to address the serious issue of school bullying in this beautifully crafted story. The vulnerable new student (Billy Bob Opossum) becomes the target of Bull E Moose as Bull E Moose uses both verbal and physical bullying tactics to intimidate Billy. The issues that arise are real issues for both the victim and the bystanders. Should Billy tell anyone (his mother, his teacher, or his friend about the bullying) or should he keep quiet and say nothing? And the bystanders have a similar problem. Should they tell their teacher (and be labeled "tattletales") and possibly become victims of the bully themselves or should they do nothing and hope the moose will get tired of picking on Billy and leave him alone? The illustrations are charming and help the reader to identify with the animal characters. All in all, a great book for young children and their parents and teachers. Highly Recommended!

An essential book for school-age children.

This is a highly relevant and sensitive story about bullying and its impact upon all who are affected by it. It is the creation of Deb Landry, a woman who works with, assists and inspires children. It is extremely well-written and the illustrations are superb. It will hold the attention of any child who reads it as well as any adult who reads it to a child. This is a must-have book for any household with children in school, or children about to enter school. Do not pass this one up!
