I like the title of the book. I like the pictures especially the bear and the fox. My best bit is when the fox gets fish to eat.

This is a fiction book. I liked the fox because it tried to steal the bears tail. I probably would recommend it, as it is a nice story.

I like the little tail that the bear has now and I didn't pity him when he lost his large fluffy tail, because it bothered him and made the bear miserable.

It was excellent. I liked the fisherman best. Yes I would recommend it to someone else. I liked the pictures in the book and the puzzles at the end.

This was a very fun book to read. My favourite part was when bear put his tail in the ice hole.

Fox was a bit mean because he was jealous. Bear was quite happy in the end because his tail wasn’t getting in his way
