Being Bossy by Joy Berry is about two little girls named Katie and Tami and a little turtle. This book was written to help children deal with and understand why others are bossy. The little white girl starts bossing the little black girl and the turtle about being the first one to play a game. She bosses them around for a while until they both have had enough playing with her. Finally they find a little boy to play with. It shows how the little boy and girl play without being bossy to one another.

This book was a good book to read to my class. So many times young children, don’t know when their being bossy or being bossed. This book helped them to know and understand. Now when someone is in my class being bossy other will say “I didn’t like being bossed.”

You could use this book to talk about being bossy. You could also use it for talking about feelings and manners. Also you could use this book to talk about friendship.
