Tease Monster by Julia Cook Is the Tease Monster a friend or a foe? That's what One of a Kind has to figure out in this quirky tale. One of a Kind has big feet and loves eating popsicles while standing upside down. He doesn't understand the difference between friendly teasing and mean teasing. When Purple laughs at One for being weird he feels rotten. And when Plaid called One a brainiac for getting an A+ on his math test he doesn't know what to say. With help, he learns that teasing is part of life and that laughing at someone is mean teasing or bullying and can have a hurtful bite, but laughing with someone is alright when it's not done out of spite!
