Eddie the Bully

(3) K-3 Eddie, a chicken, taunts the other animals at school ("'You're such a loser' he clucked"; "'Skinny!' he jeered"). When pudgy student Carla joins the class, her classmates fear the worst, but this new pig gets the upper hand before Eddie can strike. Cole illustrates this tense but spirited take on bullying with an impressive sense of balance between the story's traumatic and humorous aspects.
