Badger visits Weasel and Bear, both of whom proceed to argue over who gets to play with Badger and who is in charge of what they are going to do. Watercolor and pencil illustrations playfully depict the bickering, the games and activities they propose to each other, and the cozy children’s-bedroom-like forest setting. Parents will easily identify the unfriendly but typical children’s behavior, while young listeners will laugh at the antics and wish that Bear and Weasel would just get along. Fun to read aloud and share with others, pointing out the many details and behaviors.
