Reviews
Wise Owl, an animated character, hosts and narrates this live-action series about bullying. I See a Bully teaches viewers how to recognize a bully. In You Can Stop a Bully, children learn three coping techniques. Don't Be a Bully Bystander encourages youngsters to avoid becoming the audience for a bully and to take positive action by helping others employ the coping techniques presented in the previous title. In a series of vignettes, children are shown bullying and being bullied. The series includes an extensive teacher's guide and blackline masters. This straightforward approach to the topic provides important information without overwhelming young children and would be an asset to schools where bully prevention is part of the curriculum.
