James and the Jealous, Naughty Seagull

James is a little bear in a family of five. In James and the Jealous, Naughty Seagull, he saves a seagull with a broken wing and it now lives with him. James wants to play ball, but the seagull is far too small, so James's father buys him a puppy called Jim. Jim has a kind nature, but he is getting most of James's attention now and the seagull has become jealous. She tries all types of tricks to get Jim in big trouble. One day a neighbor's cat was sizing the seagull up for a tasty meal, when Jim came through like a super dog and rescued the seagull from the jaws of death. From that time on they became friends. As James's mother says, "It pays to have friends. You never know when you may need them." This wonderful children's story with a message shows just how harmful jealousy can be, and is another in the James and the Naughty Seagull series.
