Bookroo's summary

When a massive bear becomes Squirrel's new neighbor, she fears for her pet mouse, Chamomile. With sharp teeth and claws, the bear seems dangerous. But Chamomile sees a potential friend. As tensions rise, who is truly causing trouble? This tale explores assumptions and the courage to see beyond appearances.

From the publisher

A thoughtful and entertaining children’s parable about prejudice, starring a captivating trio of squirrel, mouse, and bear! When a very large bear moves in next door, Squirrel is sure he can only be trouble for her and her beloved pet mouse, Chamomile. He has terrible teeth, and knife like claws, and huge, horrifying hungers . . . at least that’s how Squirrel sees him. But where Squirrel sees trouble, Chamomile sees a new neighbor just trying to be friendly. Who is right…..and who is really causing trouble? Here is a charming story with an important and age-appropriate message about making assumptions.
