A story set in "The Bear in the Big Blue House." Treelo the lemur would like to help his friends with the Thanksgiving preparations but they are all too busy to stop and show him how to help so he quietly leaves in search of another Thanksgiving celebration to join. He visits a few different animals outdoors, learning how they prepare for cold fall/winter weather and eventually returns to the Big Blue House to find that he was missed by his friends. Colorful illustrations in this "picture" book accompanied by a couple of sentences per page.

This is a good book to help remind us that although we get busy in getting ready for the holiday we need to remember people's feelings. One of the characters doesn't feel anyone needs him or wants him a\round. He soon learns that his friends didn't mean to not include him they were just at that moment busy.
