Big mean Bertha threatens everyone, especially Max, until he gets a dog.

Lenny, Benny, Barney, and Itty Bitty Betty are four hungry bunnies, but each time they go to the garden to pull a juicy-looking carrot, out jumps A Big Bad Bully Bunny! Can Itty Bitty Betty help her three brothers outwit the bully so he falls on his big, bully bunny bottom with a big bump?

The Big Bad Bogey is a green, mean, icky MONSTER. He doesn't care whose story he ruins! He crashes through Little Red Riding Hood's house, into Goldilock's porridge and even smashes Cinderella's carriage! Can ANYONE stop him? A riotous tale with a hilarious twist by Tim Knapman, with gloriously zingy illustrations by Tom Knight.

This passionate book is about community, compassion, and creativity; it is about caring for others. It is also about helping students care about their work. Teachers will learn how to establish inclusive classrooms where kindness and concern become crucial backdrops for critical conversations. They will be introduced to simple but profound strategies that initiate and maintain respectful dialogue, promote collaboration over competition, and confront difficult issues such as bullying and exclusion. Creating Caring Classrooms is committed to building respectful relationships among students, teachers, and the school community. Through active, engaging, relevant, open-ended activities, students will be encouraged to explore events, ideas, themes, texts, stories, and relationships from different perspectives, and then represent those new understandings in innovative and creative ways.
