In another entry in the popular series, two neighborhood kids covet Anthony's bear, which he has brought to life with chalk, Harold and the Purple Crayon style. Anthony doesn't want to share, but after the bear (his alter-ego) points out that his friends are feeling left out, they find a compromise. The delicate, small-scale watercolors reinforce the tender emotions of the story, which is told entirely in convincingly kidlike dialogue.
