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.
