Dealing bullying a blow!
New Jersey author Frankie B. Rabbit has been a hop-hop artist/rapper and now is trying his talent at writing. According to his biographical data, ‘while his rap career was dragging with monotony, he enters, yet another, freestyle rap battle at B.B. Kings in New York City—which ended being his last rap battle after being defeated by an 8 year old second grader in the first round—his name was Dynomike! “The lyrical niceness, my rhymes so tight I give nightmares to vice grips! This mic is five bucks, this night is five bucks, and Dynomike is — is priceless!” That was only one of the sixteen bars he dropped on Frankie B. Rabbit.’ And there is the inspiration for his first book DYNOMIKE BACK TO SCHOOL. The illustrations are by Lou Francis Isip.
Frankie’s newest little story and character Dynomike are related in excellent rhyme: to give and idea, the first page reads, ‘It’s time for recess, so all kids can play. Beautiful day with clear blue skies, hope nothing gets in the way.’ But of course something does get tin the way – Bully Bob Horn, the neighborhood and school bully who is always mean, takes things from Dynomike and his little friends, and treats them mean. Dynomike gets and idea – he starts to dance funny to distract Bully Bob Horn, a gesture that makes Bully Bob laugh and Dynomike’s friends can escape. Ultimately Dynomike encourages his friends that they all should walk together and stand up to Bully Bob as a team. ‘We’ve had enough of your act! You’re just as scared as we are! We’re not falling for your trap.’ And Bully Bob Horn surrenders and confesses he just wants friends because he is a scared lonely bull. Dynomike has conquered the bullying and makes friends with Bully Bob – once again proving that he is a champion!
The series just gets better with each new release. Dynomike is rapidly becoming one of the strongest proponents of teaching children healthy interactions while entertaining them well

Dynomike: Come At Me, Bro by Frankie B. Rabbit with illustrations by Lou Francis Isip is designed for children from kindergarten up to age eight. The theme is anti-bullying. It is very attractive and eye-catching in its illustrations. The language used to convey the message is similar to a rap style. I believe rap is a subset of poetry. My university students are required to take a class in poetry and I think this work is a good illustration of a type of poetry. There is an added bonus for my students in that many of them go on to be teachers of English to young learners. This book can serve multiple purposes.
Dynomike was featured as a book of the day at OnlineBookClub.org. It was offered as a free download from Amazon; there is no need to use Kindle Unlimited although should the price change from free, KU will probably still be an option for some period of time.
It is time for recess on a nice day at school. While Spunky and friends are looking forward to recess, they fear their fun will be interrupted by Bully Bob Horn. Bully arrives and immediately begins to take lunch money, caps, and valuables from other students. He destroys textbooks and physically threatens any who resist. Dynomike, resembling a cross between a dinosaur and a robotic Lego creation, begins to entertain Bully Bob. While Bob is distracted, others run away.
But Dynomike is tired of running. He encourages the others to join with him in a united front and to call Bully Bob's bluff. Finally, there is an admission by Bully Bob that all he wanted was friends. The new unified group members shake hands or appropriate appendages (in this case, hooves).
So it looks like I might have written a spoiler. Nope. This is for Kindergarten to eight-year-olds. They don't want a mystery. There is a fight between good and evil and the younger age group (mostly) believes that good eventually wins. To not fulfill this expectation would disappoint and confuse them.
Amazon lists this book at 58 pages. On a laptop with a Kindle App, the book appears in the form of a two-page layout, so it looks almost like 25 pages. Its layout and presentation remind me of The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.
This is not the type of book I usually select to read and review. I don't have any children in the age group of the target audience. My children don't have children in that age group. I'll loan this to my grandchildren as soon as they produce Kindergartners.

I purchased this book for my niece and nephew, who are just at school/kindergarten age, after looking for a selection of children’s books which had a strong underlying message woven within the story. The great reviews this book received and the fact that this novel is promoted as an anti-bullying story which aims toward building the knowledge base, understanding and self-esteem of young children, was extremely appealing to me. As other reviewers have suggested, this book is the ideal starting point to engage in open dialogue with children about the issue of bullying, and would be a great tool for teachers, parents, caregivers, grandparents and workers in other professions such as child psychology. The story is very simple yet powerful, and the narrative is easy-to-read, enjoyable, and fun but has a strong message and impact weaved throughout the overall story. I loved the use of rhymes as it makes for a fun story to read aloud, and the illustrations were simple but also very powerful. The cover, writing and editing complements the strong message which this book has to offer, and I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a children’s story which effectively deals with the issue of bullying.

This is a great book. I recommend it and think the message is a good one for little ones through those going into second grade could benefit. Children will enjoy the characters and the illustrations fit well with the story too. The pictures help keep attention as listeners want to know what will happen next. The story is about teamwork and provides a message of anti-bullying as well as creating self-esteem, but all in a way that is fun for kids. When the reader or listener relates to such actions in the it helps them too whether to help others or themselves.

This is a great children's book focusing on anti-bullying. It is easy to read but has a few words that might confuse a child. It would be a great one to have on the shelf for younger students and kids.
