Gramma and Grampa live in a house just outside of town with lots and lots of windows. The house is very close to the mountains and it has many apple, cherry and plum trees as well as a garden. So you can imagine the animals that come into their yard looking for a free snack. Sometimes it seems like a cafeteria-- a five-point buck even came for a feeding last week! The most exciting of them all, though, come in the fall after the first frost. That's when Gramma and Grampa have all those ripe apples...A wondrous, joyful exploration of our connection with nature and the importance of our mutual respect, Jack Day's debut is a magical journey that showcases the similarities between our wild animal friends and ourselves.

But when a chance encounter with a neighbor's roofer disturbs the bears' naptime, the find themselves as local celebrities when their new napping site is in a place that's a bit more public.
