A Chapter book for children aged 7 to 10 years old.
Jealousy only truly harms the person who experiences it. Help your child understand how this emotion can block happiness. Billy Field and Ant Turner are involved in a school production. Billy believes he deserves the most attention and the prize for being the best student. When his best friend Ant wins both, he feels jealous. For Billy, it isn’t fair, and he fears he will lose his popularity as Ant becomes the centre of attention. Billy blames Ant for his feelings and wants to get his own back. He tries to turn others against his friend and even tells lies. Ant has done nothing wrong and doesn’t understand why Billy is acting this way. What can Ant do to stop Billy from being so nasty? What will it take to mend their friendship? Does Ant want Billy as a friend in the future? "Billy Is Nasty to Ant" is the third title in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book tackles a different issue—bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians, and teachers address common challenges for pre-teen children, each topic is presented gently through storytelling. Setting issues in a meaningful context helps children understand difficulties and see things from another perspective. The books serve as icebreakers, encouraging discussions about difficult subjects. Each title is also accompanied by a free activity book to reinforce learning while having fun. Buying this book today will support your child in dealing with this common but negative emotion.
