Rewind
And if the game happens to be bullying, here are two stories to help you ‘read’ the problem. The first is a group-size picture book which explores the issue for young readers in a colourful and sympathetic format, as little Alison fights off her real demons, having conquered the fantasy monsters first. The second centres around the perpetual bad-hair days of the novel’s hero Artie, who besides getting into constant trouble at school also meets the bullies at the school gate. Wouldn’t you just like to rewind days like that? That’s what Artie finds he can do!
