The Recess Queen Review: I love this book! Many of the “Mean Jeans” are better befriended, instead of avoided. - This is the best book for children, to teach them how to relate to one another. Kindness, and patience are important but accepting people for how they are and looking past some behavior to see the person is primary to making friends. Review: Students learn to Kill Them With Kindness!!! - The Recess Queen is an adorable story about how mean Jean rules the playground by bullying kids. She must do everything first and the other kids obey and try to stay out of her way. The authors tells about the Queen in fun rhyming poetic form, "she'd push em and smoosh em, lollapaloosh em." Luckily the bullying situation is resolved because of one strong-willed , kind youngster named Katie Sue. When Katie Sue invites Mean Jean to jump rope with her, she is at first shocked but in the end the two are playing together happily and sharing the jump rope. This book shows that killing them with kindness is a great strategy to teach kids when dealing with the "mean." Also this book shows that sometimes people can change too when you give them a chance! Bullies can become a friend. The illustrations are vibrant and fun. Students will love all the rhyming and teachers can use the rhymes in the story as a quick review of rhyming. Your students will learn a strategy to deal with a bully as well as have fun reading this book. I am sure they will go, "Bouncity, kickity, swingity..." once they enjoy this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #10,622 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #22 in Children's Books on Bullying #263 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Books) #464 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 2,027 Reviews | ## Images ![The Recess Queen - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pPHK5EWnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this book!
