Gertie the elephant says everyone on the playground should stay away from Bunny because she's super mean. But Kitty has questions: How did Bunny become a bully? Was she born that way? Did she catch the bully flu? Wait, does that mean bullying is contagious? Could the other animals catch it? But ... then no one would play would them either, and that doesn't seem fair. Might Bunny be sorry? Should they give her a second chance?
Flipping the focus turns ideas about bullies (and those who call them that!) on their heads.
"A playful approach to a serious topic, this is a great choice for young readers to explore what it means to be a bully and the reflect on the power of forgiveness."
School Library Journal
"... the message of giving friends a second chance is well expressed, and teachers will find a useful opportunity in identifying for children who the real victim of bullying is in this story."
