Product Details

Description

Have you ever heard or really listened to the voices of peepers and frogs in the Spring? Sometimes they’re singing or calling to friends, and sometimes they’re telling amazing stories.

New York’s Great Swamp is a wondrous and special place full of plant life and creatures like the great blue heron, beaver, turtles, otters, and frogs. Even...bully frogs.

But deep in the heart of the Swamp, the peepers and frogs also tell a tale about Humbert, a small frog who had the courage to stand up to—and the smarts to outwit—big bully Brutus.

It all began on a warm summer’s night at the Swamp’s big Starry Night Dance Competition....

Humbert and the Bully Frog also features helpful hints on handling bullies by a counselor for children, as well as an introduction to New York’s Great Swamp!

A collectible hardcover—signed, limited first edition—high quality, 32-page picture book that is great as a read-to-me book for children as young as 2 and adaptable to be read by young readers up to age 10.

Reviews

You tackled a very tough subject with such subtlety and class. This book must be a mandatory read in the lower grades. There is so much a teacher can do with it. Make the students do a compare and contrast essay, an alternative ending to spark their imagination and so much more.

Loved the book - including the little Great Swamp tutorial at the end! I was not expecting to learn anything from a children's book! - Ron Grelsamer, MD

The test and illustrations are magnificent!
- Jayne Marino

The story is clever, yet charming, simple, yet powerful. You [Carol] and Doris did an incredible job of handling complicated subject matter. It’s so important to young minds to be able to identify behavior in others, process how it makes them feel, and then show them how to respond. The adorable rhymes and gorgeous illustrations take away the scariness that is really there in those situations. The whole thing is brilliant!

The follow up teaching points and the information on the Great Swamp was especially interesting. It was fun to see the photo of you [Carol] and Doris kayaking. All in all, it’s your best book to date!! It’s perfect! Bravo!

The story of Humbert and the Bully Frog is REALLY good. I loved the pictures and the facts I learned about bullying. The lesson I learned, about using courage and brains, will help me with the bully in my school. I really liked the pictures of the real Great Swamp. It was a really cool book!

My son was super impressed by “Humbert and the Bully Frog”. He was was recently bullied, and had in turn bullied another child (along with that bully), hoping he would no longer be bullied himself. They both got in trouble and it was big lesson learned for my son. Along with his Social Skills therapist, my son learned to stand up for the other children against the bully, instead of joining him. The message of the book, to use quick wit and courage, really resonated with my son and helped to solidify his new understanding of “rising above”. Kindness always wins the day! We are going to buy this book as a gift for his Social Skills therapist for her group classes; she will adore it and get much use of it with the group! Love the Great Swamp pics and information, what a nice treat!
