A funny picture book about true friendship and about happiness that you can’t just buy with money. For grumpy bears and jolly mice ages 5 years and up.

Bear is sad when he sees Mouse. Mouse is very happy, because she has a yippee stick. Bear can borrow it for a while. But of course, the other animals in the forest want a magical stick like that too . . . Will that work out?

"When Bear is glum, his little friend Mouse lets him borrow his yippee stick. It's a very special stick that makes you happy. Bear feels better right away, but as soon as the other animals hear about the stick, they all want to share in its joy. The yippee stick is taken away, and Bear is left with nothing but a small stone. Maybe the stone holds a handful of happiness too?"--
