Our Review

“An Empowering resource for kids that teaches how to handle and combat bullying!”

Do you want to read a book to your kids that teaches them to believe in themselves? We think that “Flabby Abby Beach Ball” written and illustrated by George Neeb, is a wonderful book for children and even adults who worry about what other people will think of them. The subject is a little girl who is plump. Abby Beach loves dressing up in a superhero style. Her costume has a mask, long cape, and tights. She loves running around her neighborhood and helping people in need. She is often referred by other kids as “Fat, obese and chubby”. She doesn’t mind and remains unwavering and confident through it.

But then Abby has to start in a new school. Two horrible mean girls named Melanie and Meera picks on her on the very first day, but Abby knows just what to do about that. During her first week of school, her classmates and mean girls taunts Abby Beach in the dull-witted but sharp-edged manner of career bullies, calling her “Flabby Abby Beach Ball” and “super zero.” Abby barely flinches as she not only systematically sets out to prove herself but also stand up for others, and the mean girls end up feeling pretty foolish.  Any child who is less than perfect will cheer with joy to meet Abby Beach, a girl who doesn’t let anything–or anyone–shake her belief in herself.

The story is simple and fun, and best of all, this book gives you ample opportunity to discuss how bullying begins and how to shut it down. Being different is hard and seeing other kids being brave and celebrating themselves for who they are is a powerful tool for any child.  It beautifully instills important lessons in kids about embracing differences, the power of standing up for others, and empathy.

This is the best anti-bullying book we’ve seen for young kids. It’s adorably written about standing up for yourself and taking a stand against bullies for others. Parents can use to teach kids about bullying, an issue that often rears its head at the beginning of a new school year. It is a wonderful book that instills in children confidence in being themselves no matter what others might think.

The artwork is absolutely gorgeous. The colors look stunning on the colorful background made from wetting crepe paper and allowing the dye in the crepe paper to run or bleed onto white paper.  The painted style conveys movement really well. The illustrations and use of color wonderfully depict the changing feelings of all the characters.

Final Verdict

The overall message is that all are welcome, and it is delivered in the most entertaining, delightful way possible. Flabby Abby Beach Ball celebrates children who are a little or a lot different and will inspire children to embrace who they are.
