Scaredy has spent his life defending his tree from UFOs, lumberjacks, mammoths, and more, so when (possibly poison) Ivy the rabbit sends a note he must calculate the risks of friendship.

"Fa la la LOTS to do! Scaredy is getting ready for the holiday season!

As the author/illustrator attempts to create a picture book about a mouse in a house, her rotund feline Chester sends the mouse packing and attempts to rewrite the story with his handy red marker.

A bug flies through an open door into a house, through a bathroom, across a kitchen and bedroom and into a living room ... where its entire life changes with the switch of a button.

Will there be a light at the end of the tunnel? Will there be dust bunnies...
