Review: Boomer, Be Nice!
Boomer, Be Nice! is a story about a bulldog named Boomer who sometimes uses his size to bully his friends. In the story Boomer finds joy in ruining everyones time on the playground. He pours sand into his friends hair, takes the basketball from his friends that are playing on the court, and he opens his friends jar of crickets that he had been collecting . Boomer thinks its fun to bully everyone until no one wants to play with him and he is left all alone. Most of the other books that I read about bullying have a main character that is being bullied. I like the fact that this book used the bully as the main character and showed kids what can happen when they are mean to others.
