About This Book

A brightly colored woodpecker arrives in a rural valley and his presence stirs curiosity and concern among the other birds and animals. Neighbors react to his flashy appearance, misunderstand his habits, and worry about their nests and food as he forages for grubs, fruits, and stores for winter. A fretful robin couple frets over eggs and raspberries, a hunting partnership with a bear exposes tensions over sharing, and various encounters test politeness, courage, and community rules. Through a sequence of short episodes across the seasons, the newcomer and his neighbors navigate jealousy, mischief, and practical lessons about cooperation, resourcefulness, and preparation for winter.
