Timothy and the Big Bully

There really isn't enough of this book to satisfy. The plot is basic, the characters flat and the message, if you get bullied your big brother will say 'go away' and the bully will, too simplistic. There seems no point in the protagonists being a frog and a rabbit since there's no attempt to make them more than cardboard cut-outs and I suspect that if the author had made his characters children the book would never have been published without some attempt to round them out. Even the drawings are flat; the frog, Timothy, never changes his expression until the last page which just emphasies the lack of charactersation.
