My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Courage series just keeps getting better and this book is no exception to that. Beefy is learning how to deal with his emotions and rather than taking things out on others, his new friends invite him to help them.
The illustrations are great and the story is wonderful.

This book does a great job in showing kids that there is a reason behind every bully. Beefy’s reason is jealousy due to his parents not being there. You find out that even though his parents give him everything he wants, he really just wants them to show up. This also gave ideas on how to help deal with a bully situation, which include asking for help and pointing out the good. While this does have a simplistic solution as to why Beefy is a bully and how the problem is solved it does relay a good message to kids.

This is such a heartwarming story!! Things are not always as they seem and sometimes people project things differently because of how they are treated by others. In this story, Beefy has good things happening but he’s mad. Really and truthfully, he’s probably more hurt. He takes these feelings out on others instead of directing them towards the offenders. When the foster sibling crew get ahold of Beefy, they learn a lot from him, and they from him. Love, courage, and friendship can never be over rated!

Beefy goes from bully to buddy was a good, well illustrated childrens story that covered important lessons for children to learn early in life. I thought Beefy was a little bit of an odd choice for a child’s name, but in a way made sense at the same time with the over aggressive, good at sports, jock type. I also enjoyed seeing the foster kiddos from the previous books have a roll in this one as well. It was a good addition to the series.

Beefy Goes From Bully To Buddy (Courage Tales Series) by Dagmara Sitek
Beefy Goes From Bully To Buddy is part of the Courage Tales Series. My son and I truly enjoyed reading this book. Beefy is the schools biggest Bully. He likes stirring up trouble. He even tries to Bully Giorgio the hero bot. One thing I’ve drilled in my six year old head is be kind,be safe,be responsible. Being kind Goes a long ways. I’ve also taught him that sometimes people or kids act out because they crave attention and love they may not be getting at home. The colorful illustrations help bring the story to life. There’s a great lesson to be learned reading this book. We highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. My son and I look forward to reading more from this Author.

The books in this Courage Tales Series are so cute and great for kids learning to deal with their emotions. Sometimes kids are mean because something in their life is going wrong, so they take it out on other people. That happens her in Beefy Goes From Bully To Buddy. Beefy gets the winning goal for the soccer team, but he’s mad. His parents didn’t show up for the game when they promised they’d be around more. Beefy tries to beat up Gavin, but his foster siblings and their robot who helps kids steps in. Read more about the robot in a previous book (Cam Creates a Hero). They take Beefy home to find his parents not home, but their phones are there and some things are out of place. Beefy and the Super Buddies team look around until they spot his parents trapped! The team must help Beefy to save his parents. I won’t say anything more and give it away, but the book is super cute. I think that kids can relate to these books and they will help them learn the correct ways to deal with certain emotions and problems. The illustrations are great as well! I can’t wait to read more with my kids from this author. Great for first libraries, younger kids, and bedtime stories.

I liked the concept of this story. You have someone who is a bully because he doesn’t feel loved at home and is taking it out on kids at school. Those kids in turn try really hard to help Beefy realize that he’s a bully and they end up helping him save his parents and all is right with the world. I really liked the creative, fun, colorful illustrations. I feel that a lot of emphasis was put on the kids being bullied helping the bully rather than the bully trying to understand that he shouldn’t do that. I would have liked to see more emphasis on some self-realization from Beefy rather than his “friends” having to do all of the heavy lifting for him.

Beefy Goes From Bully to Buddy is the third book in the Courage Tales series by Dagmara Sitek who has lovingly crafted another wonderfully meaningful children’s story – with lovely, colourful illustrations that help to bring the story to life.
Beefy has been causing strife with his bullying antics. The Super Buddies team have had enough of Beefy’s bullying and make a plan to take him home and talk to his parents about his behaviour. But what happens when they arrive at Beefy’s home and get trapped in a video game? Well, they are all going to have to work together if they have any chance of escaping. So, get set for a great little adventure…
This is not only a cute tale but teaches valuable life lessons along the way, such as: how to deal with bullies/bullying, teamwork, friendship, staying connected + invested, empathy/compassion, technology/science, building self-confidence, self-awareness, emotional regulation/emotional intelligence, promotes a positive mindset, reminds us to focus on what’s important, and that change can be good.
This was such a lovely, heartwarming story that left me with all the ‘feel-good’ vibes of a meaningful story.
Looking forward to reading more of this series…
Thank you, Dagmara Sitek!

This is a cute little book for kids. It discusses what somebody that’s bullying someone might actually be going through. I read this book to my 5 year old. She really enjoyed reading it with me. She was able to read quite a lot of it on her own. There’s a lesson for kids and also one for parents. I think Dagmara did an amazing job of bringing the world these characters live into life and there was definitely character development in this book.

This is a story about a big, strong guy named Beefy who used to scare other kids. He learns a valuable lesson that being nice is better than being mean. He makes a new friend named Max who encourages him to be kind. Beefy learns that bullying can really hurt people.
Overall, the book is a heartwarming and educational story that is perfect for young readers. It is a great choice for parents and educators looking for books that promote positive values and teach children about the importance of empathy and kindness. The pictures are fun and colourful keeping the attention of the children reading it.

Being a child without love and care makes life tough. While Beefy parents love him they are working parents. But when Beefy starts picking on Gavin, Gavin calls his friends for help. The Super Buddies and their Bot Giorgio. What will Beefy do when the Super Buddies show up? Will they help Gavin or Beefy? This was a great story about Bullying. It is clear and easy to read. Even the pictures tell the story clearly. I love this story and feel it needs to be in every child’s library. This is by far the best Bully story I have read in a long time. I hope you and your children enjoy it as much as we did.

Another adventure for the team. This time they are helping Beefy find his missing parents. During the process of saving his parents Beefy starts becoming a buddy instead of a bully. After experiencing his parents change to be more apart of his life Beefy has given up being a bully.
A cute story that shows that just because a kid is acting out and being mean does not mean that they are just a mean kid. Sometimes it is because they are missing out on something important at home, such as parents involved in their life.

Beefy is a bully, but why? I read this book with my 7yo son. This story of how Beefy the bully becomes a friend has a lot of lessons in it. It explains why some kids may be bullies, and how we can help them become more friendly versions of themselves. There is a surprising twist that we did not see coming, but was very entertaining. My son and I loved it.

“Beefy Goes From Bully To Buddy” delivers a heartfelt narrative that tackles the challenging issue of bullying with both compassion and creativity. Dagmara Sitek crafts a story that centers on Beefy, a character many might initially classify as a stereotypical bully. However, as the layers of his personality are peeled away, readers come to realize that Beefy’s aggression stems from deeper emotional turmoil, making him a more relatable and complex character.
Sitek’s writing style is accessible and engaging, making the book a great fit for early readers. The illustrations accompanying the text are vibrant and enhance the story, bringing Beefy’s world to life and enriching the reading experience.

This brightly and colourfully illustrated tale takes us to a world of virtual realities and mayhem-causing goblins. Beefy learns a lot of valuable lessons, but courage, kindness, friendships, and teamwork are key in this tale. It also teaches us to be aware of the dangers that can come about when you don’t know what your kids are doing, especially in this digital era we are in.
Beefy Goes From Bully To Buddy is another educational tale in the Courage Tales series and a good way to show the old adage of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover.’ One never knows why a child does what they do unless you delve deeper.
This compelling tale helps tackle dealing with emotions, like feeling alone, angry, frustrated, being scared, and more. This is a valuable tale with bonus information available as well.
Join in the adventure of Beefy and buddies as they journey into a strange world to save those he loves and thwart those causing the danger.

This was a cute little children’s book that I am going to read to my grand daughter when I start babysitting really soon. I am collecting cute little books to read to her to get her to like reading as much as I do. It is about a young man who is a bully to his classmates and neighbors because he is upset that his parents don’t pay him alot of attention. He got angry because he saw the parents of the other children show up for their games and his did not show up for his games.
Really enjoyed the story and think your little ones will too

Beefy’s character is a wonderful character who is intelligent and does indeed change. The foster children are very sweet and supportive. I feel many people would like this book. From the bully to buddy aspect it is a fantastic story. However, the story continues and addresses other characters that I feel were represented poorly. I did not like the ending of this book.

Helping my child deal with bullying right now made this book so special to us. I have read it to him a couple times and discussed with him how bullying is bad and sometimes they are troubled also. It’s got wonderful illustrations. It’s a cool story with a great flow. I was tickled to see Cam and his friends were in it. They teach great lessons. We are adding this to our library. We are also donating some copies to our Peer Kindness agency and Kinship group.
