There Doesn't Have to be a Reason

Can your tail help you fly? asks the bird. 

Can your tail help you swim? asks the beaver. 

Can your tail swat bugs away? asks the bison.

It turns out the bear’s tail does none of these things... and no matter how many creatures and critters he meets, he still doesn’t know why he's got one. But does that mean Bear shouldn’t love his tail?

Join Bear on his journey to learn all the reasons why some animals have tails—and that you never really need a reason to love your own body.
