Product Description
Simon is having a bad day; a bad hair day. First his sister gives him a strange hair cut, then his friends tease him. Simon doesn't know what to do. Lucky for him he runs into Grandma Rose. After listening to his sorrowful story she helps him learn an important life lesson; how to handle teases and put-downs. By comparing teases to fishing hooks she tells him a tale of how fish learned not to bite. With fanciful characters such as Harmony Hippy Fish, Freddie Fang, Max the Mouse Fish and more, Simon learns that he, too, can swim free from the teasing hooks that people toss his way.

Review from Books That Heal Kids April 5, 2010
Books That Heal Kids (USA)
Hands down one of the best books to teach REAL strategies on how to stick up for yourself without putting the other person down. Kids Love Love Love Simon's Hook. This book is a real confidence builder and allows kids to take on bullies without bullying back.
Excellent book for elementary age kids January 17, 2010
A. MARTINEZ (Mexico)
Simon's Hook is a well-written book that provides children the oppportunity to empathize with its main character and learn with him different strategies to successfully and assertively deal with teasing. I use it in small group counseling at an elementary school and have found it very useful. Children love the drawings and learn how to be proactive in a teasing situation instead of feeling hurt and reacting with anger or fear.
Good school tools September 20, 2009

Perfect Analogy for Children to Understand How Not to be Victimized August 8, 2009

This is a book I turn to over and over again when trying to explain to elementary aged children how not to "take the bait" in a bullying situation. Clever, a short read, impactful and do-able.
I was impressed July 26, 2009

I got the book yesterday, it seems to be what was I was looking for. I read it to my seven and four year old grandsons. The illustrations kept their attention and they seemed to grasp the idea somewhat. Seeing this advice in a book really does reinforce it. I'll read it again after a teasing incident, and see if it helps. Sure wish I had had such a book when I was a kid.
