Bootsie Barker Bites
Illustrated by Peggy Rathmann
If you were being terrorised by a bully and, what's more, a bully your mother says you should learn to get along with and even have to stay with you, what would you do? You could try imagining all sorts of ways of getting rid of her but, in the end, she'd have to be dealt with. This story of how Bootsie gets her comeuppance will strengthen any child's resolve when faced with aggression, as well as well-meaning, but uncomprehending, adults. The pictures are particularly suited to the story.
