    A laugh-out-loud funny story

    about not worrying what others


    think—and a comical lesson about
    how keeping up your image is not
    nearly as fun as being your own
    quirky self.
    Use Big Mean Mike in your
    classroom to talk about first
    impressions, making snap
    judgments, and standing up for
    your friends.

    so you could miss out on people and Mike’s name (such as Mighty Mike
    things you may actually like. or Muscles Mike). Ask students to do
    the same with their own names—Silly
    Ask students why they think Big Mean Sadie, for example.
    Mike doesn’t want to be seen with
    the bunnies. How do the bunnies
    surprise Mike? How does this change
    Mike’s feelings?

    Big Mean Mike stood up for himself


    and his friends when the other dogs
    made fun of him. Talk about friend-
    ship and standing up for a friend.
