Reach for this book when you have a child who is moving through a bossy phase or struggles with the 'me first' mentality of early childhood. It is a perfect choice for parents who want to model the dynamics of a healthy, patient friendship without delivering a heavy-handed lecture on manners. Through five short stories, the book explores the relationship between a demanding little girl named Maudie and her stoic, devoted friend Bear. While Maudie can be quite firm and self-centered, Bear remains a steady, loving presence, gently reflecting the beauty of patience. It is an ideal read for children aged 3 to 7 who are learning how to balance their own big desires with the needs and feelings of others.
