Illustrated by
Tom Lichtenheld.
Two bears "who hate to share" fight over a pair of tighty whities (leaving one bear bare). A pattern is established: desirable items are presented to animals, but there are always more animals than there are items, leaving one animal upset. The rhymes follow familiar spelling patterns (e.g., -ack, -eal, -uck) and the goofy situations are made even goofier through Lichtenheld's digitally colored pencil illustrations.
