Bear and Squirrel are Friends by Deb Pilutti
The first time I read this book I was really confused at the moral or purpose of the story, so I read it again. The story left me feeling uncomfortable and still confused. I gave it to another staff to read, and they returned it with a similar reflection about the moral of the story.
Thinking of amphomorphic characters, there is the standpoint that people of different races have to struggle to be friends and no one will support them.
From another even more disturbing vision of the world, friends eat friends. And you can make blueberry pancakes to save yourself from being eaten by your bestfriend. Cannibalism is expected and accepted.
CLOV has the only copy of this book. Are we reading too much into it? Wanna read it? I'd love your perspective.
