Reach for this book when your child is feeling the sting of rejection or the frustration of seeing others succeed while they struggle. It is an ideal choice for the child who feels like their best effort just isn't being noticed by their peers. The story follows two bears, Frank and Carl, as they try to sell their unique hats at a bustling market. While other vendors are selling out, the bears are left with a pile of unsold inventory and a growing sense of discouragement. Through humor and quirky illustrations, the book explores themes of envy, perseverance, and the emotional weight of comparison. It is perfectly suited for children aged 3 to 7 who are beginning to navigate social competition or entrepreneurial play. Parents will appreciate how it validates the 'not fair' feeling of failure while offering a lighthearted, resilient perspective on how to handle life's little setbacks.
