Description/Notes
Mean Jean is the biggest bully on the school playground until a new girl arrives and challenges Jean's status as the Recess Queen. In this sassy playground romp the irrepressible new kid dethrones the reigning recess bully by doing the unthinkable--she invites her to be her friend! Not only will kids relate to the all-too-common issue of bullying, but parents and teachers will appreciate the story's deft handling of conflict resolution (achieved without adult intervention). Full-color illustrations.
