Early one morning, a little bear found a little box.
He looked inside. Then he exclaimed,
Why, its the greatest thing ever! Mouse will love this.
Bears friends arent so sure of his newfound treasure, however. Thats not so great, says Monkey. Ive seen those before, says Owl. And by the time Bear finds Mouse, his own doubts have grown. But Mouse has the last say when he looks inside the little box. It is the greatest thing ever, he tells his friend. Thank you, Bear.
Part mystery, part fable, this deceptively simple story of true friendship is perfect for the very youngest reader. It is sure to tug at your heart.
