This book explores the ways in which people are different and the same. We are all living things on the same planet. We all need food, shelter, and friends. We all grow up. We also have different ways of life, and we are each good at different things. The things that are the same make us feel close to one another; the things that are different make it fun to know each other! "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Bully 101 is an irreverant look at a familiar and ongoing issue.  It explores both the temptations of bullying and the remarkable possibility of kindness. It is an excellent conversation starter for both families and schools, or anyone who hopes for peace. The illustrations are funky. The text rhymes and twists. Geared towards primary-grade 7 Bully 101 identifies ways in bullying occurs, (cyber,  playground, bus,) the feelings that result (for both the bully and victim) and the  simple notion that anyone can chose kindness instead. The book does not answer all questions surrounding bullying; it does not preach either. Rather, it will begin conversations on why we bully, or watch it happen and it presents the idea that everyone has the choice  to not participate in it.

Bullies made Andrew's whole seventh-grade year a nightmare. Bullies forced Jaevon to change schools and get into fights. Emily's "friends" picked at her until she was a carcass. From all kinds of backgrounds, kids and grownups talk openly about their experiences of being bullied. Their honest, moving stories will resonate with the many children who have undergone bullying of all kinds—emotional and physical—and who have tried to deal with it alone or with help. Arresting photos by Steven Vote draw us into the lives of these brave people.

Learning to tolerate different opinions, perspectives, and beliefs is vital to a healthy society.

From School Library Journal: Grade 1–5—These books offer clear and simple advice for children and provide adults with springboards for discussion and role-playing. All have appealing color photographs of a variety of types of kids (though they look a bit staged), opening scenarios, concrete coping suggestions, and solid reasoning. The book suggestions for further reading have no copyright dates, but the Web sites are all currently active and provide excellent resources. In Can We Get Along?, differences in skin tone, religion, wealth, language, and ability are all addressed. The book concludes with six skills for ending conflicts. The strongest title, I Said No!, explains why saying "yes" is easier. Then 10 refusal skills are presented with illustrations and specific language/behavior. There is some discussion about personal struggles and tough questions to ponder. Why Are You Picking on Me? deals with bullies and victims. Explanations for both roles are offered, with solid ways to avoid being a target. Telling an adult is listed as the first step, and suggestions for a school-wide bully-free zone conclude the book. These are solid additions to elementary collections.—Debbie Whitbeck, West Ottawa Public Schools, Holland, MI Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
