Synopsis
First published in 1972, The Brownstone is a fun read-aloud story about a family of bears trying to go to sleep for the winter. They move upstairs to the second floor to get away from Miss Cat’s loud piano, but then Miss Cat complains about the cooking smells from the pigs that moved into to the bear family’s flat. Meanwhile, the kangaroos dancing on the third floor above keep the bears awake. The landlord owl saves the day by working out a space for each animal family to live in peace, undisturbed by their fellow tenants. This warm and funny story, in a revised edition, shows the young reader that you can learn to respect and live with others who are different from you.

About the Author
Paula Scher is a managing partner for Pentagram, and the author of Make It Bigger, and Paula Scher Maps. This is her first children's book. Stan Mack has authored several children's books, and pioneered a documentary style of cartooning with his notorious New York comic strip "Stan Mack’s Real Life Funnies," which ran in The Village Voice.
From the Back Cover
Living in harmony with your neighbor isn't always easy, but it's doubly difficult if you're a bear living in a New York City brownstone, getting ready to hibernate, and the kangaroos' tap dancing upstairs and Miss Cat's 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.
