Ninja Cowboy Bear

The ninja, the cowboy and the bear do everything together - they paint pictures, compare cloud shapes in the sky, fly kites and much more. Though each friend is very different from one another, they enjoy each other's company. Until one day when they begin quarreling and compete to see which one is the best. The bear can pile up rocks the highest. The cowboy can collect the most raspberries. The ninja can catch the most rabbits. When each contest leads to more resentment, it seems the friends will never stop disagreeing. Only when they learn to be considerate of their differences do they finally realize how much they appreciate each other. This playfully illustrated picture book also includes instructions for the Ninja-Cowboy-Bear game, which is similar to Rock Paper Scissors except that kids use their whole body.

The ninja's playtime games are too rough-and-tumble for his friends the cowboy and the bear. After he finds that playing alone isn't much fun, the ninja learns that the greatest thrills and the best adventures are the ones we share.

An imaginative and humorous book about friends who counter conflict with respect and sensitivity.
