When Jimmy steps up his playground bullying, Geraldine decides to build a anti-bullying shield to show him what he looks like.

From calling the other child “Jimmy the Bully”, to an odd shield covered with mirrors to reflect Jimmy’s mean face, and on through poorly drawn illustrations – I cannot recommend this.
