Description

Bull doesn't have a kind word for any of his friends. When the other animals ask him to play, he responds in the way he's been taught- Chicken! Slow Coach! You stink! Until, that is, one of his friends decides to stand up to him, and makes him realise what a bully he's become...

Laura Vaccaro Seeger's bold, graphic artwork, along with her spare but powerful words, make for a tender, hilarious, and thoughtful tale.
