What is Buster the Bully about?

Buster is the biggest, meanest fish in his tank, and he enjoys making the smaller fish feel afraid. But after being sent into the ocean, Buster meets a shark who makes him feel small and helpless. Hiding from danger, he begins to understand what it is like to be bullied. When a little fish is threatened, Buster bravely swims to the rescue. By standing up for someone else, he learns about kindness, courage and the power of changing his ways.
