In the footsteps of Hilaire Belloc's cautionary tales, this story shows us a bully getting his comeuppance in a most unusual way. Billy is a terrible bully. Even his dog is frightened of him. He 'punches, snatches, pulls, and scratches'. We see him being seriously unpleasant in many different ways, and no one at school seems to do anything about it. But, hark! There is one child on the lookout, a new boy who always wears a scarf and a hat, and when Billy takes him on, we discover he is an alien, whose big brother arrives in a space ship to whisk Billy away, never to be seen again. No one is in the least bit bothered! This is super. The highly coloured, comic pictures make it all funny, but the point is very nicely made.
