Despite conventional thought and because they are friends, Squirrel knows that Bear will not eat him, and Bear knows he will not eat Squirrel. However, after a long hibernation, Squirrel does look particularly appetizing--that's why Squirrel is ready with delicious blueberry pancakes. Neat gouache illustrations in muted tones add humorous details to this story about the essence of friendship: trust and understanding.
