[.ca] The Berenstain Bears and the Bully (ISBN 0679848053)

The principal at my school took this one out of the library:
I couldn't believe this book. Basically it has the kid who got beat up by the bully go home and learn to beat up bullies, then go to school and actually beat up the bully. In the end, no one gets into trouble...they even mention that the parents weren't called. What kind of lesson are they trying to teach? I was horrified...I was reading this book to my child, and at the end we both said "huh?" I was hoping to teach him about practical ways to handle bullies, but all the book told him was that he should be one himself. Read this one for yourself (but before you read it aloud to the kids...)

Ridiculous:
This book is very bad because it teaches you that the only way to deal with a school biu;;y is to puncvh her back or you have to agrree to let the bu;;l hjert you.. What happens is that sister bear comes home after being physically assaulted, and the parents say that they can't do anything. I don't want any child to see this book because they will think that bullies can get away with this. I think that anyu teacjer thjat seeks thjius hapening should hav this studnt suspended from school. the compan that made thid bnoiiok dhould not make anmy more.

I'd like to rewrite the last three pages.:
Usually I find the Berenstain Bears series books to carry solid, helpful messages for kids. The books are certainly the major kindergarten collection of choice in our house. However, I believe Stan and Jan missed the mark on this one. The other synopsis notes mention reference to an "unavailable text." I wonder if the current edition has a few major revisions
