My children in my classroom love the Recess Queen book. Sometimes we have a Recess King also in our classroom. If we have a hard recess time, this is the perfect opportunity to get this book out. It's a great book for discussion if someone is having a hard time in the classroom or on the playground. Enjoy!

I have read hundreds, if not thousands, of children's books to my students and to my own children. Of all the books I have ever read aloud to children, this one is hands down my favorite! It reads like jazz tugging on heart strings. Powerful insights into playground bullying, school violence, and poor self-esteem are weaved through character education lessons for traits like integrity, citizenship, equality, and courage (to list only a few) that resonate with children and adults of all ages. If this one is not in your possession, consider yourself lucky that you stumbled upon it and will be adding it to your collection with your next mouse click. I give it my highest possible rating!

Fabulous messages told in an original style children will love. Every parent needs to talk about this issue of bullying early to empower their children. I recommend Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullyingfor great ideas and tips on how to give your children those skills and develop a nature that will insure that they never becoming bullies. Other children's literature by these same teacher-authors that not only have similar inspiring messages but great teaching guides for parents: Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Successand The Big Squeal: A Wild, True, and Twisted Tail.
