When Ferdy the nerd gets paired with Too-Tall the jock in an assignment to study inventions, the one subject they can agree on is guns. While Ferdy's interest is strictly intellectual, Too-Tall's is, unfortunately, basically bang-bang. Things come to a head at Bear Country School when Too-Tall brings in a monster squirt gun that looks an awful lot like the real thing. The whole class learns a valuable lesson: in the wrong hands, guns can be bad business--whether they are real or not.As we all know, gentlebears prefer blonds. Unarmed ones.
If you have any youngsters you're thinking of buying books for, avoid the wimpy, cloying and ultimately subversive Bear-stains.
