The Tale of HiberNation, the Odd Chipmunk deals with problems encountered in life due to one being "different." This was the case of HiberNation, a chipmunk who was shunned and laughed at becuase of his habit of sleeping almost all of the time. Becoming lonely and depressed, HiberNation started to withdraw from the the world. He started to hate school. He didn't want to participate in any activities. But, life, being life, came to his assistance as an answer to his problems. Touted as a "classic for the modern age," as well as being compared to Aesop's Fables, the series will be much enjoyed.
