Reviews for Pinky and Rex and the Bully

[michelleraphael · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A short chapter book about being yourself. Pinky is not the typical boy-boy and is definitely made fun of for it. He starts to change who he is to fit in, but after a neighbor gives him a heart-fulled talk, Pinky realizes that he is okay with himself.
