Spike the Rebel!

Some unpleasant people quickly realize the errors of their ways, but for others, it can take a while. Spike takes pleasure in being rebellious and rude, and as time goes on, his behavior just seems to deteriorate. Disobeying his parents and bullying his classmates eventually leads to a continued, conscious effort to hurt other people.
When Spike falls prey to one of his own traps, he finally begins to comprehend the pain he has inflicted on others. This cautionary tale from the Sommer-Time Story series highlights the value of friendship and the power of compassion. Children can take a handy quiz at the end of the story to determine if their own behavior is good or if it needs a little work.
