Books like The Berenstain Bears and the In-Crowd

Considering school is in session, and the rampant bullying epidemic that “seems” to be sweeping through our country’s youth, this appeared appropriate timing. The Berenstains do a great job of depicting how cruel being left out, picked on and made fun of can be. They address this in a couple other books as well that I hope to review at a later date. They also do a wonderful job, telling the story through the eyes of Sister Bear, of explaining one of the best ways to handle the situation. If you have a young kiddo who is struggling with bullying at school, this might be a good place to start both for you as the parent and your young one as the kid. It might also be a good book to read if you feel like your child might be the one bullying. At any rate I highly recommend both the series and this book in particular.
