This book is about two bears arguing over who is big and who is small. They take turns going back and forth until a huge "Boom!" happens. A big pair of legs were dividing them, and tiny bears with parachutes fell from the sky. The bears realized that there were bigger bears and smaller bears. The quickly agreed that they were not classified as big or small and decided to go get some lunch.

I would use this book in my classroom to show my students that everyone is different. This book would be best for Pre-k-1st grade. You could even stretch it out to second grade. I would teach my students that though we have differences such as height, hair color, skin color, and eye color we are all human. At the end of the day, we are all the same and should be friends.
