Following on the success of her first book The Bully in the Book
and in the Classroom, C. J. Bott has written this sequel to help
those who work with children and young adults become familiar with
books that address the problem of bullying. More Bullies in More
Books presents over 350 annotated titles, from picture books to
high school books, dealing with bullying. Chapters address specific
bullying behaviors or problems: name calling, putdowns, and gossip;
being new and different; body image; cliques, groups, and gangs;
"isms;" homophobia; cyberspace; and violence. Each chapter begins
with an introduction that describes the harassment seen most often
in each grade level and contains relevant books at all reading
levels. Every entry features an in-depth summary, activities, and
quotes from the book for students to discuss. An important resource
about a real and harmful problem, this book will be of interest to
teachers, librarians, counselors, administrators, and parents.
Every one of us has experienced harassment in one form or another,
either as a target, as a witness, or as the bully, and we all carry
hidden bruises. This guide addresses the often invisible problem of
bullying in the halls, offices, and classrooms of schools and will
assist educators to know what to look for and what to do when they
see a child being harassed. Forty four fiction books with bullying
as the major theme are reviewed and discussed. They have been
selected based on grade level with chapters organized in four
sections: kindergarten through third grade, intermediate readers
(grades 4-6), middle school readers, and more sophisticated titles
for high school students. Each chapter begins with an introduction
that describes the harassment most seen in each grade levels. For
each title, there is an in-depth summary, activities, and quotes
from the book for students to discuss. The final section provides
resources for teachers, librarians, counselors, administrators, and
parents. A necessary tool for teachers, staff, and educators, as
well as parents.
