Badger and Squirrel are best friends, until one day . . . along comes Fox!
Can you have more than one best friend? Fox doesn’t think so. He wants to prove to Squirrel that he should be her best friend, not Badger, and he knows just the thing to settle it: a friendship competition! But Badger is terrible at the games Fox sets up, and he starts to think he might not be a very good friend . . .
