Boig and Bitty Tales

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else. — Margaret Mead

Excellent story and as you can see readers were captivated by your story of Big Red and Little Bitty Wolf. When I was quite young, my grandmother sent me puppets from Germany which I kept over the years. Since my daughter was three, I have brought out certain puppets that she feels comfortable telling her troubles to. Thank you, Patricia, for your kind words. And thank you, Leslie, for sharing your puppet story. Thank you, Jeanie, for visiting my website. As you see by the comments, readers really love your book! It is such a great classroom book for the beginning of the school year!

Both of his parents offer him solutions, which he tries, but nothing works until the school counselor suggests Little Bitty Wolf try responding to Big Red's attack in an unpredictable way.

Little Bitty Wolf smiles at Big Red the next time she tries to tease him and it completely throws her off her game. Back matter includes information for parents and caregivers about bullying, bullies, and bystanders. Recommended for sharing with PreK Twist on the classic Little Red Riding Hood. In this story Red is big and she's mean. Every day she teases Little Bitty Wolf. Little Bitty Wolf tries telling her stop like his mama suggested.

And he tries puffing himself up to look bigger like his papa suggested. Then the school councilor, Mr. Know-It-Owl suggests that he try something Big Red would never expect. Little Bitty Wolf tries smiling.

This unnerves Big Red and she returns the basket she took from him that morning. What have you tried to fix it? Little Bitty Wolf finds his own solution. The author turns this modern day folklore topsy-turvy. The expressions on the faces of Big Red and Little Bitty are priceless.

Apr 08, Kimberly Wright Oelkers rated it it was amazing. Would you like to read a book about bullying, written by a professional counselor, using a favorite fairy tale? Mar 17, China Harris rated it really liked it Shelves: However, the character roles have been reversed, and the story applies a new concept.

She makes his journey a nightmare by tripping him, pulling his tail and even stealing his lunch basket.

The Little Wolf does not know how to handle his situation with Big Red, and asks his parents what he should do. They both tell him to tell her to stop or make himself look bigger. However, their advice does not succeed. The wolf talks to his counselor at school. The counselor gives him some positive advice that is sure to stop Big Red from bullying him. This book incorporates concepts that are relevant in many elementary schools today. The main theme in this book is bullying, which is a social justice issue in school systems.

Many younger children experience bullying walking to and from school, or even at school. This book provides the perfect example of a younger "child" being bullied and how he was able to get help and gain control of his situation.

The last pages in the book offer some tips and advice for parents to recognize the signs of bulling and how to help children with it. I recommend this book to any young readers experience bullying. I see this book being read at home and in schools. This book is a good read that teaches young readers about social skills and school life. Nov 04, Jo Oehrlein rated it it was ok Shelves: Adults in the book are bystanders. They don't witness the bullying, but they don't intercede at all once they know about it, either. I'm a little disconcerted by the counselor's advice.

I also wonder at which point the adults would intercede. We have stolen property. We have mild physical violence. Nov 12, Lauren Cunningham rated it really liked it Shelves: Big Red and the Little Bitty Wolf is a story based on a twist to the old time fairy tale. This story explains what both characters may do in regard to being the bully and being bullied. I think that this story would best fit grades Kindergarten to Big Red and the Little Bitty Wolf is a story based on a twist to the old time fairy tale.

I think that this story would best fit grades Kindergarten to 2nd grade. Big Red and the Little Bitty Wolf could be used in multiple ways to reach different content standards.

I could see this book being used in comparing and contrasting stories and their story elements through fairy tales. Having students compare this story to the original would create rich conversation regarding the story elements and how they may be similar or different. I also think this story could be the bases of a clear explanation of bullying. Everything that Little Bitty Wolf goes through in the story can be understood by children and a text-to-self connect would be perfect! I think that this story could clearly show how students should approach a bullying situation to fix the problem as well as showing students how to clearly identify a bullying situation.

This would be essential for having students identify and reach out to other students that they may see being bullied. This was a WOW book for me because fractured fairy tales have become so addicting to me! I think that they are the greatest way to extend learning in fairy tales. Fractured fairy tales, including Big Red and the Little Bitty Wolf, provide the perfect context to teach comparing and contrasting story elements as well as understand why they are similar or different. I think that this story was even more of a WOW book for me, because it has so many events that happen to Little Bitty Wolf that students can and should connect to.

Connecting bullying to standards related content gives the teacher an even better opportunity to strengthen the classroom environment through the understanding and conversations that come from this story. Sep 27, Alexis Cohen rated it it was amazing Shelves: I really enjoyed this book because it added a new twist from the typical Red riding hood story that I grew up with. In addition, it also helps children understand what bullying is and the effects of bullying.

However, it also shows children how they can deal with a bully in a healthy way. This book takes on the problem of bullying with familiar characters and the tables have been turned. I really liked this picture book about bullying where the wolf is being bullied by little red riding hood.

Older audiences for subject matter but positive easy suggestions to work on bullies.
