Bookroo's summary

On Howling Hill, a camper van disrupts the peace, prompting the local wildlife to unite. Wolves, bears, and foxes fail to scare it away, but the smallest creatures—bees, flies, and dragonflies—might succeed. Can the tiniest critters drive out the Big Blue Thing and restore harmony?

From the publisher

This crazy animal caper will have you cheering for the little guys! When the Big Blue Thing (a camper van to us humans) arrives on Howling Hill, the local wildlife all agree it has to go. First the wolves try to scare it away, then the bears, boars, and foxes have a turn. Finally the wise owls suggest sending the smallest critters – the insects – to do the job. A cloud of bees, flies, and dragonflies make sure that the Big Blue Thing runs away at top speed!
