NOTES

After creating a new burrow for herself and her best friend Mouse, Tortoise eagerly waits for Mouse's return, but as more animals request their own rooms, Tortoise grows increasingly tired and frustrated with Mouse's absence

Tortoise and Mouse are more than just friends and burrowmates. They are best friends and best burrowmates. When their home gets flooded, however, it's up to Tortoise to dig them a new place to live. And so she digs a room of her own and a room for Mouse. But where is Mouse? Noticing the fresh burrow, Bunny asks Tortoise if she could dig a room for her as well. Then the Spotted Skunk. The Mole Skinks. And the Wolf Spider, the Frog, and those mothsSo Tortoise digs. Seemingly everyone else wants to be her burrowmate except for Mouse--where did she go?
