In book 2 of the series, Roscoe's stuffed pig is "pig-napped" from his backpack one day at school. He's sure Wyatt, the class bully, is to blame so he swipes the bully's stuffed bear. As he mourns the loss of one of his favorite stuffed animals and witnesses Wyatt's reaction to his missing bear (so similar a reaction to Roscoe's own), Roscoe realizes that he and the bully may not be so different after all.
This book is fantastic for children just diving into chapter books (especially boys). Makes a great read-together book for adults, too. The characters are believable and the story is about a real issue that is important to kids. The lesson is obvious but not too preachy and the humor helps keep everything light. I highly recommend this book!
