Overview

A fresh and original twist on the common issue of bullying. Kids will relate, while parents and teachers will appreciate the story’s deft handling of conflict resolution (which happens without adult intervention).

Mean Jean was Recess Queen

and nobody said any different.

Nobody swung until Mean Jean swung.

Nobody kicked until Mean Jean kicked.

Nobody bounced until Mean Jean bounced.

If kids ever crossed her, she’d push ’em and smoosh ’em

lollapaloosh ’em, hammer ’em, slammer ’em

kitz and kajammer ’em.

Until a new kid came to school!

With her irrepressible spirit, the new girl dethrones the reigning recess bully by becoming her friend in this infectious playground romp.
