Summary
Seeing bully Bootsie Barker get her comuppance is guaranteed to make young readers smile.
It's the worst when Bootsie Barker comes to my house. Bootsie's the one who pulls my hair and tears my books. She hates Charlene, my pet salamander. She says that I'm a turtle and she's a turtle-eating dinosaur.
Uh-oh, I think I hear a car pulling up. That's her now! Eeek!
"The colorful cartoon and wash drawings, filled with amusing detail, perfectly express the terroristic tactics and the narrator's frustration. When Bootsie is on a rampage, even the stuffed animals cover their eyes." -- School Library Journal
