Animals can be bullies too

by Lesley – Book 1 in the “Help Me Cope” Series

Animals Can Be Bullies Too! is a unique, heartwarming book that uses the real-life antics of Lesley’s beloved dog Paddington and her playful clutter of cats to introduce children to the serious topic of bullying in an accessible and engaging way. With full-colour photographs of the animals in action, the book captures children’s attention while gently teaching them to recognise different types of bullying, understand who is responsible, and, most importantly, learn how to stop it. Sheriff Paddington leads the way as a calm and confident example of fairness and protection, quickly becoming a favourite among readers. As part of the Help Me Cope series, this book includes dedicated reflection activities at the end to help children connect the animal stories to their school environment. Through these "Help Me Cope Activities," kids are encouraged to discuss real-life scenarios, explore their feelings, and build the confidence to stand up for themselves and others. Whether read at home, in the classroom, or therapy settings, Animals Can Be Bullies Too! is an empowering, practical tool for emotional growth and a delight for animal lovers of all ages.
