Summary
Chester Raccoon's good friend Skiddel Squirrel has had an accident and will not be returning - ever。 Chester is upset that he won't get to play with his friend anymore。 Mrs。 Raccoon suggests that Chester and his friends create some memories of Skiddel， so that they will have good memories when they miss him。 Chester， his brother Ronny， and their friends decide to gather at the pond， where they combine their memories and create a touching celebration of their friend's life。
Many young children must face the loss of loved ones or the need to attend a funeral。 This sweet story will help children to understand the positive purpose behind memorial services and how "making memories" can provide cheer and comfort when missing an absent loved one。

The illustrations in this book are beautiful。 Unfortunately， the simple solution given for changing bullies into friends is unlikely to work in most playground situations。 It would have been far better to have had the invitation to play be turned down at least once before the bully changed。 Feels like a book written to check the box for addressing bullying without actually giving kids truly helpful solutions。

Another great Chester Raccoon book， and another great message to impart！ Chester and his friends are dealing with a bully at school， and when Chester's mother learns of this， she tells them a story， as only she can do。 She explains that maybe if the kids change their perspective and the way they see the bully， maybe they can get to the root of what makes the bully a bully in the first place。 As usual， she is right！I love these books because the illustrations are colorful and attention grabbing， Another great Chester Raccoon book， and another great message to impart！ Chester and his friends are dealing with a bully at school， and when Chester's mother learns of this， she tells them a story， as only she can do。 She explains that maybe if the kids change their perspective and the way they see the bully， maybe they can get to the root of what makes the bully a bully in the first place。 As usual， she is right！I love these books because the illustrations are colorful and attention grabbing， and the story is always a good lesson that kids don't even realize they're learning。 Highly recommend:5/5 stars。I received a copy of this book free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion。 。。。more

Chester Raccoon and the Big Bad Bully is a cute book with a nice message。 It takes a little longer to read than some other children’s books， though， due to the amount of words on a page。

It was a funny 😄 book 📖 and I really Liked It。 And little kids at first would probably be a little bit worried but， at the end it would be better

Another great Chester Raccoon story！ These books are always great ways to lead to more discussion with your child but leave you smiling。 The illustrations are great。 I highly recommend not just this book but all of Audrey Penn's books。 Another great Chester Raccoon story！ These books are always great ways to lead to more discussion with your child but leave you smiling。 The illustrations are great。 I highly recommend not just this book but all of Audrey Penn's books。 。。。more

This is a book that I look forward to sending to my nieces。 It kind of goes over the power of kindness， backed up by larger groups of kind people。 I kind of wish the Badger could have just been misunderstood， instead of truly a bully， but there are definitely bullies who are not misunderstood， so I guess this works。

What a beautiful story on turning a bully into a friend。

I like how Chester's mother explains why some bullies are， well， bullies。 Chester had a problem-solving solution when dealing with his bully at the end， though I'm not sure how well that'd work outside of the story。 I love how full and lush the illustrations are in these books。 I like how Chester's mother explains why some bullies are， well， bullies。 Chester had a problem-solving solution when dealing with his bully at the end， though I'm not sure how well that'd work outside of the story。 I love how full and lush the illustrations are in these books。 。。。more

I like how different animals came together to solve the bully badger problem。 I could see using it with children to teach overcoming a bully with collective kindness。

Audrey Penn is a favorite author and Chester Raccoon is a favorite book character in my classroom。 This is a great book to use with students when talking about bullies and how to handle a situation with a bully。 Kindness is always the answer and this book shows just how important kindness really is。

This time Chester and his friends must figure out how to interact with a bully。 His mom tells a story about smoothing out rough edges of a stone。 The friends band together and ask the bully to join them and play at recess。Mixed feelings about this working in all situations。

The Kissing Hand series books are all adorable （and I have read a few of them now）- in the stories they tell， the illustrations， the characters， and the way the stories are told that make it easy for the youngest readers to understand and appreciate。 This book also does the same - for showing kids that bullies are just like everyone else - and on how to befriend bullies and be afraid of them。 Thank you to netgalley for a digital copy of the book （this was from earlier and reread a library copy t The Kissing Hand series books are all adorable （and I have read a few of them now）- in the stories they tell， the illustrations， the characters， and the way the stories are told that make it easy for the youngest readers to understand and appreciate。 This book also does the same - for showing kids that bullies are just like everyone else - and on how to befriend bullies and be afraid of them。 Thank you to netgalley for a digital copy of the book （this was from earlier and reread a library copy to write this review） 。。。more

While the message here is not quite so good as the one transmitted in The Kissing Hand， Chester Raccoon and the Big Bad Bully has the same beautiful， colorful illustrations and is a delight to read。

At only a year and a half old， my Granddaughter is too young to understand the story， but she loved the beautiful pictures of all the different animals。 This is another book added to her ever growing collection of books she will "have to grown into"。 At only a year and a half old， my Granddaughter is too young to understand the story， but she loved the beautiful pictures of all the different animals。 This is another book added to her ever growing collection of books she will "have to grown into"。 。。。more

This is a great approach to bullying。 Some people just need the rough edges worked off。 We can help them with that！

It is sad that in our society that we have bullies even to the youngest children; yet this book teaches a valuable lesson in that many bullies are mean only because they do not know how to be friends。 A keeper for years to come！Merged review:It is sad， that in our society that we have bullies， even to the youngest children！Yet this book teaches a valuable lesson; many bullies are mean only because they do not know how to be friends。A keeper for years to come！
