The workbook questions at the end provided a good way for children to think about bullying and apply what they read in the book to their own lives. The book did feel a smidge repetitive – in part because both boys end up experiencing somewhat similar situations but I don’t think it would be too noticeable to a younger audience. It also provided realistic responses and possible outcomes (again – without ever feeling cheesy). So many bullying books feel heavy-handed and kind of cheesy but BIG and Small in the Mirror did a good job of showing how kids feel when they are bullied and when they watch a friend being bullied. Will the two friends stand up and save the day? Or will their friendship be ruined forever?
