Bookroo's summary

Two little pigs return from a walk to find their homes taken over by a bear and a moose, leading to a comical collapse. With nowhere to live, the unlikely quartet must work together to build a new home in the woods. Can they overcome their differences and create a space for all? This charming tale of friendship and cooperation, set against lush illustrations, invites readers to explore the joys and challenges of sharing and teamwork. Discover how these endearing characters navigate their unexpected living arrangement.

From the publisher

It’s nice to have your friends move in, but. . . . A sweet, wry tale of cooperation and camaraderie, told with pastoral artwork by Inga Moore. One little pig has made a little den for herself in the woods, and another little pig has a small hut next door. One morning they return from a walk to find that their big friend Bear has moved into the den and an even larger Moose into the hut. CRASH! With both homes collapsed, they’re all in a pickle–but what if they find a way to build a house in the woods that all four of them can share? With lush, whimsically detailed illustrations and a cast of endearing, industrious (and most accommodating!) characters, Inga Moore constructs an inviting story of friendship that kids will be happy to visit awhile.
