A fresh & original twist on the common issue of bullying. Kids will relate, & parents & teachers will appreciate the story's deft handling of conflict resolution (which happens w/o adult intervention)

Mean Jean was Recess Queen
and nobody said any different.
Nobody swung until Mean Jean swung.
Nobody kicked until Mean Jean kicked.
Nobody bounced until Mean Jean bounced.
If kids ever crossed her, she'd push 'em and smoosh 'em
lollapaloosh 'em, hammer 'em, slammer 'em
kitz and kajammer 'em.
Until a new kid came to school!
With her irrepressible spirit, the new girl dethrones the reigning recess bully by becoming her friend in this infectious playground romp.

Boom Crash went Mean Jean when she stomped to the playground . I love Recess Queen because its a good book for if you have been bullied and learning to be a upstander to bullies . Recess queen is about Mean Jean, she is head of the playground until Katie Sue came along. I like the book because Katie Sue is the upstander to Mean Jean. Also I like the book because the illistrator did a really good job drawing the pictures .Last I like the book because the auother used awsome words that replace boring words.Will Mean Jean keep the playground hers or not,read Recess Queen to find out.
