Someone has moved into the house next door to lonely Chicken, but who? Unbeknownst to him, it's Owl, who doesn't catch sight of his next-door neighbor because Chicken has a completely different schedule. This charming tale of misunderstanding has an element of mystery, a quiet message about respecting differences, a pleasing resolution, and clean-lined art in rich colors.
