Summary

Everyone seems to know about Coolsocial, a fun social media app, except Gerry, and this gets him teased by Adam and his friends.

So Gerry decides to follow suit, eager and ready to make some new online friends. But things don’t turn out the way he had hoped, and all he can do now is what he loves most – give Mr. Bottles, his furry cat, some belly rubs.

Might this be the answer to everything?

A touching and inspirational children’s read about bullying, cyberbullying, hope and forgiveness.

Cool

The dramatized reading was quite cool. I liked how it gave Adam and Gerry their personalities, in addition to how the character is written, of course. Then the takeaway was 100%. I like that the story is short enough that you can use it as a tool when talking to your kids about the internet, social media and the things that go on there.

A Simple Story with a Great Message

If you’re looking for a book that’s perfect for kids and tackles the tricky topic of cyberbullying, you’ve found it.

The story revolves around Gerry, who’s initially mocked for not being into the latest social media trends. His fortunes change when a video of his cat goes viral, and he gains popularity online, leading to a happy resolution with his bullies.

What I liked is that the book presents a clear and straightforward message about cyberbullying: Don’t write mean things about other people online.

The language is simple enough for younger kids to follow along. The narrator is perfect for smaller children - he is full of energy and does a great job with all the character voices.

This is a great book to entertain your children while teaching them a valuable lesson. And I think it’s perfect for starting conversations about social media and bullying with your kids. Definitely recommended.

I liked it!

This short story is a great way to introduce kids to the topic of cyberbullying. It follows Gerry, a boy who’s teased for not being into social media, but things turn around when his cat goes viral. The story delivers a simple yet important message: don't write mean things online. The language is easy for younger kids to understand, and the narrator is energetic, bringing each character to life.
