This book was about two bears who are very greedy. They often argue that the other gets more water, more food, etc. The bears end up with very little because they were too concerned the other bear was getting more. The main message was to appreciate what you have and don't worry about what others have. I enjoyed it because it had a good moral and the pictures were fun. I recommend this for 2nd or 3rd graders because they will enjoy it and be able to dig deep enough to discover the moral of the story. ( )

I liked this book because it addresses an issue that is popular among younger students. The book shows what happens when someone is greedy and selfish. The author does a great job portraying this with the two main characters being bears that would just like an equal amount of cheese. However, when a fox comes along and tries to “help” ends up eating all the cheese leaving just two crumbs. The main message of this book shows children that being greedy will end negatively because not everyone can always get what they want. Therefore, this would be a great book to read in the younger grades in order to teach this important skill. ( )
