Synopsis

A hilarious follow-up to Grin and Bear It, this early reader offers lessons on jealousy, self-confidence and the art of making new friends.

Chuck Wood is upset. Jealous, too. Also insecure. As the winner of the Best of the Forest art contest three years in a row, he finds it very difficult to deal with the prospect that newcomer Scooter Possum’s abstract paintings might beat his wood sculptures. But with the help of his forest friends, Chuck deals with his hurt feelings and realizes that his love for creating art is greater than his need to win. When you follow your heart, everyone’s a winner.

Chuck was an artist. He loved to make things out of wood. He spent most of his days gnawing, sawing, sanding, and carving deep in his burrow.
            “Knock, knock,” said a cheery voice through the door one day.
            “Who’s there?” replied Chuck.
            “Stopwatch,” said the voice.
            “Stopwatch who?” asked Chuck.
            “Stopwatch you’re doing and let me in!” replied the voice.
            Chuck burst out laughing. “Come on in, Bear.”
            “What’s up, Chuck?” Bear asked.
            “This is my newest sculpture,” answered Chuck. “I call it Look Before You Leap.”
            “Wow!” said Bear. He stepped back to admire it. “You really are the finest artist in the woods.”
            “Thanks, Bear,” replied Chuck. “You know I love my work. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to finish this piece for the Best of the Forest art contest. I’ve been working on it all month.”
            “Good luck, Chuck,” Bear said. “I bet you’ll win first prize.”
