Eight year old Ellray (Lancelot Raymond) Jakes is the smallest person in his class, but he is also big brother to his four year old sister, Alfie (Alfleta). When Alfie is being bullied by mean and bossy, Suzette, Ellray encourages his sister to stand up for herself. Alfie is completely intimidated by the dragon Suzette so Ellray decides to take action. At the same time, he finds he may need to stand up for himself after an incident at recess. Black and white illustrations show Ellray in a variety of circumstances with family and friends. Occasional bold and assorted fonts add focus and humor to many of Ellray’s situations. This fourth book in the Ellray Jakes series is fun to read and shows how it is possible to work through life’s imperfections.
