内容简介：
All life moves in circles, and so do the lives of the animals who live in Longfeather Ponds. Tjaart, a chipmunk, is dropped from the sky into the bed of a sleeping skunk named Henrik, and the adventure begins. Henrik reluctantly agrees to help Tjaart find his way back home to Wading Pool and Park Bench. In the meantime they must eat, and so do the other inhabitants of Longfeather Ponds. Each animal is part of the ever-present food chain, and their very survival depends upon the weather, the available food, and whether one is hunted or the hunter. Henrik and Tjaartas journey leads them along sniffle trails and into a deadly thunderstorm, which unites the two animals in friendship. Their story acquaints us with a fearsome feral pig, a brave coyote father, and two red-tailed hawks who live and die by the rule of the long feather.
