Summary

In 'Nero, the Circus Lion: His Many Adventures,' Richard Barnum presents a vibrant and engaging narrative that captures the exhilarating world of a circus lion named Nero. Through lively prose and vivid imagery, Barnum invites readers into the thrilling and often perilous escapades of this magnificent creature. Drawing on the conventions of adventure literature and the rich tradition of animal tales, Barnum weaves a story that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, exploring themes of freedom, companionship, and the blurred lines between human and animal experiences in the glaring spotlight of circus life. Richard Barnum, an esteemed author known for his dedication to children'Äôs literature, crafted this tale during a period mesmerized by circus culture in the early 20th century. His experiences observing animals and his keen interest in the complexities of human-animal relationships profoundly influenced his writing. Barnum'Äôs background offered him unique insights into the lives of animals in captivity, often spotlighting their struggles for autonomy amidst human entertainment. Readers of all ages will find delight in 'Nero, the Circus Lion,' as Barnum skillfully balances adventure with moral lessons. This enchanting story is not merely about a lion'Äôs escapades; it serves as a portal into a world of empathy and understanding. A must-read for those who cherish adventure literature, animal stories, or simply wish to appreciate the captivating realm of the circus.

    Harry is a shy, bullied little dog. In a dream, he meets some friendly animals who teach him useful bully-blocking skills. Mia the meerkat tells him the best ways to respond to bullying; Ollie the owl emphasises eye contact; Gerry the giraffe explains the importance of good posture; and so on.Harry puts these new skills into practice: they work immediately, and his life is transformed. In learning how to block bullies and make new friends - skills he can use all his life - Harry has shed his fear, and now enjoys being with his peers.This small book will empower 8+ year-old children to learn how to block bullies. It is based on the therapy model Evelyn developed to train psychologists, and on years of teaching bullied children how to manage their basic survival instinct. It is effective and empowering: even young children understand the concept of keeping their power, or giving it away and making the bully happy. Harry's story is written in the form of a poem - in rhyming four-line stanzas - to help children remember the words, which are meaningful and therapeutic.
