When Buttermilk and her bunny family move to a new neighborhood, she sets out to find the "old, smelly" bears that her parents claim will "ruin the neighborhood". She meets Jingle, a bear whose parents claimed the same thing about bunnies. The two become best friends, realizing how silly and wrong their parents are. When both sets of parents forbid them from seeing each other again, they persuade them to come see what great friends they are, and hope that over time they'll be able to change their parents' minds.

A return of two different characters in a book - Jingle Bear and Buttermilk Bunny. If you follow the pictures from the previous book Buttermilk's father isn't the same color as the last book if they are even the same family.

A cute story that is a child's version of Romeo and Juliet without the romance and star-crossed tragedy of lost lives. Both families are afraid of each other while banning their children from ever seeing other again but there is a clue that they are just biding their time for the right time. ( )
