Mr. Tweet's Mustache: Defenders of Sportsland Mr. Charles S. Hellman 1.º edición

This soccer story is centered on a referee, Mr. TweeT (a red rubber ball). He is accustom to the bullying behavior by Coach Trouble and his bully Hoo-Doos to the TeamMates, but not to himself. As a person of authority, he is proof that anyone can be bullied and disrespected. He is encouraged by the caring TeamMates to stand up to these bullies after they cut-off the tips of his handlebar mustache. Mr. TweeT inspires the TeamMates by showing them how to do the right thing when it comes to coping with bullies. He reinforces worth and self-esteem, and features realistic advice. Also, the story subliminally shows how to stand-up for someone being bullied, which further empowers young children.
