Celia Crocodile is very shy. She is happy swimming alone in the cool, deep water of her swampy river home. But two mean snakes are making her life miserable. They make fun of her big teeth and laugh at her. Thank goodness for Maggie Magpie who stands up for her friend and teaches the bullies a lesson. Please Don't Tease by Kate Pennington teaches children that there are different types of teasing. Some are acceptable, others are not. But being kind to others is always the best option. Kate hopes that her Beyond a Joke series of children's books will help create a domino effect of kindness.
