Résumé :
Bully The Pest - A Tick with an Attitude! A children's picture book written and illustrated by Jane E. Ries. Bully the Pest is a cowboy tick looking for trouble. He swaggers into the town of Wild, Wild West World where he meets up with Sheriff Roller. Just when they lock eyes, a stampede of bugs rushes in to meet Sheriff Roller. Bully doesn't get a chance to bully the folks of Wild, Wild West World. Instead, he is introduced to the most amazing amusement park ever. He makes new friends and has a swell time. The story takes a surprising turn when the Buzzing McBee Gang appears looking for trouble. Can Bully the Pest find the courage to face the Buzzing McBee gang and make them skedaddle? He has to think of a way lickety-split and sure enough he does. In one of the silliest pages of the story, Bully gives the Buzzing McBee Gang the stink-eye. The bees hightail it out there. Bully's friends have a celebration for Bully and Sheriff Roller makes him deputy. This book is filled with silly twists and turns and lots of cowboy words with a glossary. The illustrations are bright and funny, just like the story. Bully's friends teach him that it's better to experience and enjoy life instead of being a bully.
