Trouble is, their plan depends on Tank, the rotund class hamster, who's not inclined to cooperate. Will the Little Red Pen be lost forever? There's no lack of trial and error, hilarious chaos, and creative problem-solving in this mission! Kids - and adults - will never see their school supplies in quite the same way again.

And when the 'egg' finally opens, Bear gets a fruity surprise. Luckily, Bear doesn't have to face disappointment alone. Hare is there to help!

Will the frenzy that erupts tear apart the prairie-dog town forever. Or will the kidnapping of mean ol' Big Bark trigger the prairie dogs to come to his rescue and remember the true meaning of community?
