Book Overview
Living in harmony with your neighbor isn't always easy, but it's doubly difficult if you're a bear living in a New York City brownstone, getting ready to hibernate, and the kangaroos' tap dancing upstairs and Miss Cat's piano playing reverberate through the walls and floors. But Miss Cat has her own complaint: the cooking smells from the pigs downstairs. Happily, the wise owl landlord rearranges everybody so they can live in peace. This warm and funny story, slightly revised from the 1972 original, shows the young reader that you can learn to respect and live with others who are different from you.

This was a favorite library book as a kid, couldn't get enough of it. It's about various animal residents in a Brownstone apartment building. The Owl landlord deals with many unhappy residents; such as the Kangaroo's tap dancing and the Cat's piano playing. Each scenrio is original and just absolutely darling. A difficult book to find, but if you do...snag it. You may never come across it again.
Excellent!

This was one of my favorite books as a young child! We checked it out of the library many, many times! I just wish it was still being published.
