The Adventures of Hardy Belch: The Hardy Belch and Tiny Adventures

I was surprised to find on reading this book how effectively and with a very child friendly approach the author deals with the serious issues of bullying and intolerance. The book is written in a way that children will comprehend and enjoy, and also highlights situations or events that may already be familiar to them.
The stories themselves are written well and contain enough plans and ideas to keep many a young reader amused. I loved the artwork too, which put me in mind of the old Mad comics that I read as a child many years ago.
The advice sections that follow the stories are a good touch and a nice way of getting the children to relate at their level to the issues dealt with in the story
All in all this is a fun, worthwhile and show more important read for children and a book that will be enjoyed by many and talked about to others after reading. show less
