Arnold and Herman are having great fun flying and playing until Billy B. Barnstormer, the Bully, shows up and starts to push them around and try to make them land. This is a great book to open discussions with children on bullying and being bullied.

But when Arnold flew closer to Billy that day,
his fear and alarm started melting away.
Though Billy was big as everyone said,
he was really quite normal from his tail to his head.

Review

Arnold and Herman, happily playing in the sky, encounter a notorious bully whose reputation precedes him and who, thanks to Arnold's courage and ability to look beyond Billy's supposed drawbacks, turns out to be a fine new friend. There is drama, conflict, and a requisite happy ending, packaged in flowing, descriptive verse that is sure to appeal to young readers and parents alike.
