We recently picked this up at the library. My son is three, so stories with little text are still good for him, he always wants to turn the page if there is too much text. He likes that the story is a little scary. I do different voices for the big bad bullybug and the baby bugs, and tickle, pinch, or pretend scratch along with the story. We've made it very interactive, and there is a big squooshing sound I make when the tennis shoe squishes the big bad bullybug. This is great fun. We read it at the library with a little girl, who was about seven or eight, I would say, and she also liked it.

I love all the books by this author, having first read "Go Away Monster" years ago. This is probably my favorite of all his books and my grandkids love to have it read to them.

What a fun story! Leaves room for tickles and laughs and is a good time for both of my boys age 1 1/2 and age 3 1/2. You can use funny voices and sound effects and is a good time for everyone in the room...

This is one of the most popular books in our well stocked 2 year old's libarary. He loves how the Bullybug arrives, grows, and all the actions that go along with him as he grows. The book is very sturdy, with big thick pages that would withstand a lot of love from little fingers, even with the cut-outs. It's not really a good lesson on how to deal with bullies if you're looking for a book on that (the bug get's sqwished by a big foot that's friends with the little bitty baby bugs that are getting picked on) but it's fun and lighthearted and a good time. We don't find it scary at all.

We got this book because my 4-year old son loved Go Away Big Green Monster. He loves it just as much! We read it constantly. Honestly, we like Go Away Big Green Monster better, but both are thoroughly enjoyable.

My son knows all the dialog from both books we read it so frequently. Mind you there isn't a lot of text, but it is fun.

My 3-year-old loves the Ed Emberly books, and since this one was new, we got it out of the library (just in case he didn't love it as much). Long story short, this is his all-time favorite. He likes it even more than Go Away Big Green Monster, which was hard to beat. So, for his fourth birthday, he is getting a copy. We love this!

I was searching for a book on bullying. My kindergartener is being bullied in school. The teacher recommended Lucy and the Bully. I searched Amazon's recommendations for a couple more. This was a waste of $. The plot: There is bullybug who is aggressive towards other bugs and in the other end gets stepped on.

It doesn't give the child any coping strategies. Aside from entertaining illustrations a terrible book.

This is one of the few books I've come across that me, my daughter and my son all think is funny. The book is big and colorful, and as you proceed through the pages you can feel the anticipation rising to the funny climax. Great book for everyone.

My son just loves this book. We have to read it all the time. I also suggest, Glad Monster, Sad Monster and Go away Big Green Monster.

This is a fun book for kids. My 3 and 5 year old love it.
