Description
The creators of The Legend of Ninja Cowboy Bear return with a high-energy story about friendship. This time, the daring ninja learns that the greatest thrills and the best adventures are the ones we share.
The ninja's playtime games are too rough-and-tumble for his friends the cowboy and the bear. The ninja isn't interested in his friends' games --- and playing all by himself isn't much fun. Can the rambunctious ninja ever meet his friends halfway?
Children will easily relate to the lesson about mutual respect embedded in a story about three different but nonetheless close friends.

The simple message of the plusses of cooperative play will be embraced by audiences who are likely still playing the hand game featured in the first adventure.
