A few days ago, you probably saw that I posted about Hugo the Happy Starfish – The Secret to Happiness. We completely loved this story – so when we were asked to review Hugo The Happy Starfish – The Last Bully, Lil C was happy to oblige. Like all other Hugo books, this particular story helps a child learn. And the main moral of this book is to learn respect and don’t bully.
A little about The Last Bully: Written by Suzy Liebermann, Hugo is a little starfish and so it’s not surprising that in this story he comes across several bigger fish in the ocean. Sadly, they are bigger fish with the wrong attitudes – they’re bullies! After seeing his friend getting bullied, Hugo decides enough is enough. He forms the Anti-Bully Club and teaches the bullies a valuable lesson about respect.
This is a great lesson for every kid to learn. I know that being in first grade – a lot of kids don’t seem to realize the difference between joking around and bullying. And the younger you can snip this in the bud, the better off everyone is. I try to instill these lessons in my son, but… I’m just his mom… You know, us moms don’t know anything… (he-he). So when given the chance to help him learn using other techniques, like reading… Then he wants to take head of the word. Both Lil C and I love these great books. Make sure to take a moment and check them out on Amazon.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
what a wonderful book for kids,,I have 11 grandchildren that I would love to read this to them
I will definitely have to check out this book! Stories are such a great way to teach lessons to little ones!
This book sounds like a cute/clever way to cover a heavy subject. Very cool.
Bullying is such an epidemic. I love the lessons that it teaches. Should be read by kids and discussed with parents.
Aw, love the illustrations for this book. I love when we’ve been reading lots of books with a point with the kids and then I hear my daughters telling each other, “We’re supposed to… insert story point. Remember what the story said?”
wow sounds like a great book i want to get it for my younger brother
