Pinky And Rex And The Bully (Ready-To-Read Level 3)

My 4 year old loves pink. His room is pink, his stuffed animals are pink. He has often been hurt by thoughtless children AND adults who can't resist pointing out that PINK is a girl color. We encourage him to be himself and enjoy in spite of what any one else thinks. But even our loving support couldn't do what this book does.It lays the issue out in a clear understandable way. The choice to give up what he loves to suit others and avoid bullying humiliation is painful to read. My boy instantly connected with what Pinky was losing and cried bitterly. When the elderly neighbor perceives the problem and offers her own experience as example we were so relieved. But best of all in the end when Pinky gets his PINK stuff back and confronts the bully. He is no longer self doubting. He is prepared to stand up for himself and what he likes. He became a permanent hero for us.Poignant, without being maudlin or sappy. Well done and Thank you.

I love the story, I have used it before with my 2nd and 3rd grade classes and it was very helpful. I bought it for my 3rd & 4th grade Summer School classes to teach them about bullying. It shipped on 6/29, but did not arrive until July 26th, which was too late for me to use.

This book brings back memories. I remember when I first read this book in elementary school.

First published in the 1990's the Pinky and Rex series is still relevant to children of the 21st century because of the real-world situations the books discuss. These books were favorites of my children!

This is a great book. The kids love it.

A wonderful story. Used for "Time for Ages" when we were talking about bullies.

The kids love it!

Just right for an emerging reader. Simple and fun to read.

Good story. Read it to my kid several times and he enjoys it every time.
