The Brownstone

The Brownstone by Scher, Paula. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781616894283.

Living in harmony with your neighbor isnt always easy, but its doubly difficult if youre a bear living in a New York City brownstone, getting ready to hibernate, and the kangaroos tap dancing upstairs and Miss Cats piano playing reverberate through the walls and floors. But Miss Cat has her own complaint: the cooking smells from the pigs downstairs. Happily, the wise owl landlord rearranges everybody so they can live in peace. This warm and funny story, slightly revised from the 1972 original, shows the young reader that you can learn to respect and live with others who are different from you.
