Illustrated by
Charles Fuge.
Three friends challenge one another to physical feats unsuited to their skills: Duck to jumping, Roo to tail-chasing, and Mouse to floating. After feelings get hurt, Roo's mama suggests they focus instead on their unique abilities, in a perfectly sound but bland resolution ("'Can we all be friends again?' 'Yes we can!'") Fuge's expressively drawn animal pals help lighten the mood.
