Publisher: Henry Holt and Co.
This is a story of the friendship between a Squirrel and a Bear. They do everything together since they share such a close friendship. However, the size of the Bear seems to bother the Squirrel as it has spoiled several of his plans, like, sinking a boat, throwing him off the seesaw, squashing him, tearing his house apart, and so on. This makes Squirrel frustrated and he tells the Bear that he needs his own space where no one can intrude. The Bear stared at the Squirrel and consented to his requests.
But, both of them have been together through thick and thin, and soon, they started understanding that they were missing each other's company. Indeed, we may sometimes get hurt in our friendship and togetherness. The Squirrel thinks he would be happier without the Bear, which works out perfectly fine initially. However, later on, they both understand that they are inseparable and it is better to fix issues if any between them because things might not go smoothly at all times even between close friends.
