James and the Greedy, Naughty Seagull Lynne Pickering

James is a little bear who happens to save a seagull that has some behavioral problems. One day James goes fishing with the seagull. James is disappointed by the bird's display of greed, when she eats nearly all his catch. James replaces the fish by spending his pocket money to buy fish for the family's dinner. Even though the naughty seagull was greedy, the bear decides to give the bird a second chance. When the seagull is disciplined for her bad manners, James's mother rewards him for his generosity and unselfishness. This heart-warming children's story teaches the difference between greed and unselfishness, and is another in the James and the Naughty Seagull series.
