Excerpt

The Toughest Boys in School
by Bob Woodroffe

Don't mess with us! Don't be a fool!
We are the toughest boys in school.
So if you meet us--best behave.
We're big and strong and very brave.
Though I admit it's true to say
That we've been known to run away
From kids at school who call us names,
Who laugh at us and spoil our games.
'Cause even though we boys play rough,
The girls in school are twice as tough.

Reviews

“It’s a book kids, parents, and teachers will all want to read.”
