SuitabookThe Legend of Ninja Cowboy Bear

- Reading
- Pause after the contests and invite your child to notice how the friends' feelings or behaviour change. Afterwards, try the included game together if that suits your child.
- Themes
- Friendship and difference: The three friends enjoy one another's company despite being different, and later learn to be considerate of those differences. The stated ending presents consideration of differences as part of appreciating one another.
- Competition and resentment: The friends compete at different activities, and each contest is said to lead to more resentment. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The friends quarrel and grow resentful as they compete. If rivalry or arguments are a tender subject for your child, you may want to explore how the characters treat one another during the contests.
