Book Synopsis

When Weasel comes home, he can hardly believe his eyes: Bear and Badger are playing. But Badger is Weasel's friend!

Badger suggests the three friends play together. But Bear and Weasel can't agree on anything: not football, not memory, not hide and seek.

Weasel never follows the rules. Bear always wants to be in charge.

Set in a charming outdoor forest house, this picture book is a brilliant battle of wills between friends. Readers will enjoy every twist and turn of this very funny argument about a very familiar problem.

Review Quotes

"Readers might find their animal counterpart in one of the three main characters, which could springboard into interesting conversations about collaboration and sharing. This German import will be useful and enjoyable in classrooms or on the SEL shelves."--School Library Journal

"Notably, this is no morality tale with a neat and tidy ending; rather, it's a strong example of what not to do that honestly explores the consequences of jealousy and stubbornness. A candid and authentic glimpse at the rocky road that is negotiating social interactions."--Kirkus Reviews
