This rhyming story demonstrates both sides of
bullying. Sid the Dragon likes to torment his classmates in the school
yard. "Whenever it was sunny and the kids came out to play, he'd growl
and snort and spit real fire and chase them all away".
Tommy is a shy and quiet boy who is either teased or ignored. "No one ever played with him, he wasn't any fun; except when they would tease him and he'd cry and sob and run". The story reaches a climax when these two have an encounter that is not only surprising but introduces hope into a hopeless situation. This book is a useful tool to initiate discussion about the way we treat each other. Topics could include bullying, respect, compassion, shame and friendship. |
