    "Hi, I wanted to tell you about my books about bullying. One is a chapter book for children ages 6-12, and it's called Blue Cheese Breath and Stinky Feet: How to Deal with Bullies (published by American Psychological Association; my second book is In Your Face, Pizza Face and it's written for girls ages 6-12. Boulden published it. My latest book is for elementary and middle school teachers and is called Real Life Bully Prevention for Real Kids. I’m currently marketing two more bully prevention books, 50 Things to Do While a Bully’s Bugging You for children ages 6-12, and Elliot K. Carnucci is a Big, Fat Loser, a fiction book for middle school kids. Best wishes with the good work you do. Catherine DePino, Ed.D. drcatto@aol.com "
