Synopsis

When the first-grade plans an exciting costume party, Anna-Maria decides to be a fairy princess, Sammy a tramp and Danny a hiccup! However, as the children are snacking on cupcakes and enjoying themselves at the party in their fun costumes, the third-grade bully comes into the class to harass everyone and tries to ruin the fun. Jim saves the day when he accidentally takes on the bully and proves that he is truly "The Strongest Man in the World."

This reissue is a perfect selection for anti-bullying character education. New watercolor illustrations by Ronald Himler give the first-graders unique personalities and help readers empathize with their experiences.
