When the first grade plans a costume party, Anna Maria decides to be a fairy princess, Willy a clown, and Jim the Strongest Man in the World. But on the day of the party, as the children are having fun, the third-grade bully comes in to harass everyone and tries to ruin the fun. Jim saves the day when he accidentally takes on the bully, thus proving that he truly is a strongman. Miriam Cohen’s book is a perfect selection for anti-bullying education. Ronald Himler’s new illustrations give the first graders unique personalities and help young readers empathize with the characters experiences.
