Love the idea but...

I bought this book so that I could introduce my kids to "A bug and a wish" which is a very similiar teaching to what my mentor teacher taught me once: "I don't like it when you__, can you please___?" which is a nicer way for kids to independently solve their problems. Anyways, if I had seen the pages in this book, I would not have got it. The pages have a lot of unnecessary extra words which do not quite relate to the heart of the story. The setup time of the boy getting bullied was cliched and the ending was unclear. Spoiler: It was his friend that said the lines and then suddenly on the last page, the bullies and the boy were friends. He did not say it to the bullies; she did! And she wasn't the one getting bullied. Great idea but poorly executed. Also the pictures are very pre-k level despite the story being too wordy for a pre-k kid to sit through.
