Does He Really Want to Be a Bully? Big Bad Barry likes to bully smaller owls. Maggie, a small Burrowing Owl, is bullied until she uses some anti-bullying strategies. When she sees Barry bullying another small Burrowing Owl, she wisely tells him, You don’t really want to be a bully, Barry. At the end Big Bad Barry realizes it is better to be a friend than a bully. Children three to eight years old can emulate the strategies used by the owls when confronted by a bully. Additional anti-bullying print and online resources are provided to assist parents and teachers to continue the conversation about bullying.
