Bully ISBN: 9780744536249
Hughes, David
Published by Walker, 1995
An unusual and exotic book. Boy, girl, penguin, pig, elephant, teddy, dog, and crocodile are all playing. Suddenly, dog decides they should kick teddy. 'Why?' asks girl. 'Because he's furry,' says penguin. 'Bully,' girl says. They bully each other one by one for similarly silly reasons, until they get to crocodile, who starts eating them. Penguin smarmily sides with crocodile so he won't get eaten, and when girl shouts 'Wicked, horrid, evil', crocodile burps up all those he has swallowed. They finally decide to play something else. Effective comic graphics. Most peculiar, but original.
