Summary: Tyrone the Horrible
Review: I think that this book is really good. I like the caracter of Tyrone becuase he reminds me of myself. He is so mean to everyone around him. Especially when he is always mean to Boland the little dinosaur. He does everything mean to him that he can think of. Boland even tries to be nice to him and give him ice cream and other things. He also tries to be his frien and Tyrone is just a big bully. This book is very good. Especially the ending.

Review: This book is terrific! With great pictures and humor it tells how Boland the dinosaur finally successfully handles the bullying Tyrone. This book steers clear of preachiness and sappiness and yet shows children that using your head (not your fists) is really the best way of dealing with bullies. Sometimes it is painfully honest in depicting what it is like to be bullied, but my son seemed to appreciate the realistic depiction. The ending is very funny and my son insists that I read it to him over and over again. I would highly recommend this book--especially to the parents of little boys!

Summary: Terrific Book about Bullying!
Review: This is a classic tale of how the little guy outsmarts the big guy. However, two things make this story unique from other bully stories: the fact that the main characters are dinosaurs, and the triumphant ending. Boland is transformed from a vulnerable little dinosaur into a confident little dinosaur. Wilhelm?s colorful watercolor illustrations are marvelous and add to students? enjoyment of the story. Children will enjoy seeing Boland outsmart Tyrone. This book would be a great discussion starter for the topic of bullying.
