Bookroo's summary

In an underground prairie dog town, harmony shatters when a fuzzy tennis ball rolls in. The prairie dogs' fascination with its fuzz spirals into greed, threatening their community. As chaos ensues, the kidnapping of the notorious Big Bark forces them to confront their divisions. Will they unite to rescue him and restore their sense of community, or will their newfound obsession tear them apart forever? Discover the unexpected journey of these prairie dogs as they navigate the challenges of greed, unity, and the true meaning of togetherness.

From the publisher

Deep, deep down in their underground town, the prairie dogs live in harmony–until a mysterious, fluorescent, very fuzzy thing (otherwise known as a tennis ball) rolls down their hole. When the prairie dogs discover that they can pluck and pull the fuzz into fabulous fashions, their fear quickly turns to curiosity, then delight, then pure greed. Will the frenzy that erupts tear apart the prairie-dog town forever. Or will the kidnapping of mean ol’ Big Bark trigger the prairie dogs to come to his rescue and remember the true meaning of community?
