Rat wants one of Big Brown Bear’s slippers and tries to trick the bear into giving one to him. When Big Brown Bear drops his ball into a carton, Rat helps him find it. Meanwhile, Big Brown Bear finds an old slipper in the box to give to Rat.

A story of a bear and a rat who learn to help each other while looking for fun things in an old box. The book separates itself into 3 chapters so it is a picture book that is suitable for very young readers but also introduces them to a chapter book layout. I feel this would be a cute story to have in your classroom in the independent reading section.
