The Bailey Triplets and The Bully Lesson

by Pamela Bell, Penny Weber (Illustrator)

Overview

It is Valentine's Day at school and mean Mary Lou Musgrove, the class bully, has thrown all of Betsy's and Betty's Valentine cards in the trash. Then she stains Betty's face with a marker causing her to cry and get a bad rash. At recess a fight ensues and their mother is called to the school. Their mother plans a picnic, and while Bobby and their dad play ball, she explains that Mary Lou might be mean because she feels too big and tall. She suggests that they help her feel loved and accepted by killing her with kindness the next day, picking her for their gymnastics routine, and bringing cupcakes for the entire class, but a special one for Mary Lou with a surprise inside that bonds their friendship for many years. Mary Lou's heart is opened and she puts a Valentine card on every classmate's desk the next day.

About the Author

Pamela Bell lives in Las Vegas, Nevada and is the grandmother of five. All of her life she had a passion for poetry and storytelling, so when her first grandchildren, the triplets, were born she began making up stories at nap time as a way to calm and entertain three rambunctious triplets and get them to fall asleep. It worked so well, that once they were too old for naps, they continued begging to still climb into their cozy sleeping bags and listen to their Grammy's stories. "The Lazy Lesson", by far, was their favorite story of the hundreds their grandmother made up, so several years later at the urging of her daughter, she wrote the story. It inspired the idea of an entire series about triplet adventures that would entertain, yet teach important lessons with sentiment, humor and rhyme, so that children and their parents would enjoy reading them and look forward to every lesson.
