Tease Monster : (a Book about Teasing vs. Bullying)

Part of the Building Relationships series by Julia Cook, this quirky tale teaches K-6 readers the difference between friendly teasing and mean teasing. Understanding the difference can help develop friendship skills and advance social emotional learning. Youngsters will learn how to react to both types of teasing -- when to laugh along with it, ignore it, or get help from a trusted adult when it becomes bullying. Kids also learn how their own words can be misunderstood or hurtful and to watch what they say.
