Synopsis

A little boy is wondering why he is bullied by his classmate Peregrine Ffrogg. He asks himself various questions: 'Is it because he misses his mum? Is it because he still sucks his thumb? Is it because he smells like a pike? Is it because he can't ride a bike?' And the questions he asks leads him to a greater understanding of himself and the bully. He comes to the conclusion that Peregrine Ffrogg is unhappy, and jealous of him.

Media Reviews
Even the very small will understand. * Guardian *
Thought provoking, perceptive, picture book looking at a bully and his victim. * Primary Times *
Minimal text allied to pictures with maximum impact make this a perfect book for the emerging reader. * The Bookseller *
A clever tale that will allow children to understand what makes a bully. * The Teacher *
A deceptively simple, funny (yet serious) book about bullying and self-esteem... Each page stands as a little gem in its own right. * Child Education *
