We are a fan of the Lima Bear series, so I happily wanted to review the newest book: Bully Bean! Bullying seems to be on all of our radars, and Bully Bean is a way to start that conversation in your home.
In the kingdom of Beandom, Bully Bean is feared. He plays mean tricks, makes fun of other beans, and puts them in danger. Lima Bear, the only bean with green fur who is always helping others, seems to be Bully Bean’s favorite bean to pick on. However, what happens when Bully Bean is in danger? Will Lima Bear and his friends run away, or will they rescue him? Bully Bean expects the worst, but Lima Bear knows that treating others with kindness is the right thing to do, even though Bully Bean has bullied him for a long time. Lima Bear soon returns with a large group of friends to help rescue Bully Bean, who learns to use his large size to help with tasks in the Kingdom rather than be hurtful.
I love this story. It is a story we even as adult need to take to heart . . . help others even if they have hurt us. If you have followed the Lima Bear series, you need to add this to your collection!
