Fox tails - The Great Bunk Bed Battle, written by Tina Kugler, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: Fritz and Franny are young fox siblings. Like some siblings they do not want to go to bed or clean their room. Fritz and Franny are also competitive with one another. With Franny on the top bunk and Fritz on the bottom bunk they each try to persuade Fred, the dog, to join in. In order to persuade Fred each sibling uses their imagination to make each bunk sound like the best choice. One bunk becomes a tree house and the other a cave. One a castle and the other a boat passing under a bridge. Fritz and Franny cannot convince the other that their bunk is the best. They decide to switch bunks to see the other point of view. It is a fun story with a lot of imagination and some common sibling issues. The ending with Fritz, Franny and Fred in Fred's dog bed is very cute and a good way to demonstrate compromise and working together. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: A good book to discuss siblings, working together, imagination.
