Even their forest friends walk out because of their bickering. The cubs finally decide to settle the issue with a game of, "You move, you lose." However, two raccoon burglars show up for an unforgettable game of their own. When a wolf comes by chasing a little kitten, their stubbornness is tested to the limit. Stubby declares victory, but he soon realizes that the true winner is his sister Prissy. In this stimulating book, Carl Sommer shows the folly of stubbornness, and the importance of tolerance, cooperation, and friendship. Grades K-3. Virtues: Tolerance / Friendship / Cooperation Other Virtues: Caring, Cheerfulness, Civic Virtue, Compassion, Forgiveness, Kindness, Loyalty, Obedience to Parents, Positive Mental Attitude, Respect for Others, and Responsible Citizenship Review "Prissy and Stubby Bear fight and bicker over everything. Their stubbornness soon gets them into trouble. This picture book is filled with forest animals that are very Disney-like in appearance. The importance of tolerance, cooperation, and friendship is well conveyed in this story. Although it's a bit long for a read-a-loud, the illustrations are very large and colorful so children should enjoy sitting still for this one. I would suggest this book for use in any library."
