The Great Paper Caper

(3) K-3 When the forest animals notice that some trees are missing branches, they launch an investigation. Meanwhile, readers will spot a bear sneaking around with an ax, then see a flyer tacked to a tree advertising a paper-airplane competition. The story's details are so funny (especially the sight of otherwise normally proportioned animals with stick legs) that the respect-the-land message goes down easy.
