No-good bullies and the stupid, horrible, no-good things they do.

Even if your child can't relate to the bigger themes on display here, they will definitely feel visceral anger about Yertle's behavior. Because Yertle isn't fair. He takes what he wants when he wants it, and all of the other turtles are too scared to do anything about it… until one of them isn't.

This is pretty classic playground bullying dynamics. Everyone's just going around minding their own business, enjoying their lives, and suddenly some kid has declared himself king and is telling everyone else what to do.

It stinks, but hopefully Mack's rebellion will inspire your kid to fight for their right to party. Party!
