The Odious Ogre

The Odious Ogre

by Norton Juster

Summary: An ogre terrorizes villages until he meets a friendly villager.

This is a fantastic book for addressing bullies. Some parents teach “be nice to other and they will be nice to you.” This is not always true; this book teaches that sometimes you can hurt people more with kindness than unkind words. This book is lengthy and I recommend it for older readers and listeners.
