Becky sulks and gets angry if she doesn't get her own way, and this results in the other children at nursery being afraid of her. She takes their toys and sometimes even physically hurts them. When Ela joins the nursery, she wants to play blocks with the other children, but Becky refuses to let her and hits Ela. 'No', says Ela. 'I don't like that.' And then she asks why Becky doesn't want to play nicely with the others. This shocks Becky so much that she decides to try. 'It was much better to have friends and share things together.' Large print and clear, simple pictures make this useful for very young children. There is much evidence of racial differences, but, oddly, no teachers seem present. This may be because children who bully do it most successfully when teachers are not around.
