Review Praise for the  "A Ferret Named Phil" series: "A fantastic book is A Ferret Named Phil, it has many connotations and appeals to the imagination of all ages. I congratulate William Reimer for highlighting the need for our young to develop assertiveness skills to step up and stand up to bullies. This book is  engaging, empowering and entertaining but most of all it encourages discussion about an issue affecting 1 in 5 and delivers many messages in various contexts. This should be in every library and pre/elementary school in the country"  -  Oscar Yildiz   CEO - Bully Zero Foundation "Children of all ages will be able to relate to this story about Phil the Ferret  overcoming the odds stacked against him and the gorgeous whimsical images add to the appeal"  -  Roxanne Elliott   Founder - CareForKids.com "Phil the Ferret is  brave and determined. But he also knows the importance of relying on friends when it comes to overcoming any challenge. This is a wonderful story about how togetherness and care can make even the most vulnerable feel safe" -  Dr Joe Tucci  CEO - ACF "Phil (bless his little furry socks) is the sweetest little character. His scarf and hat are just the cutest! I can just imagine the type of kid he would be if he were a real kid. The story starts as Phil's parents are warning him what to do if Hugo the bully (wait until you see him!) picks on him. A great starting point for a discussion with young children about this topic. I love the way the book is written is rhyming couplets. It flows really well and is fun to read aloud. The language is positive and most importantly,  Phil learns how to stand up to a bully without resorting to violence. Check out Hugo the bully! What a spot on character choice!! I wont spoil the ending for you though. You'll have to read it for yourself." -  Lauren  Founder - TeacherTypes.com
