Not Fair, Bear! is a delightful tale about two best friends, Squirrel and Bear, who do everything together. Does that mean they always get along? Erm, wrong! Despite their close bond, Squirrel and Bear are also very different.

Squirrel adores playing hide-and-seek, but Bear's size makes finding a good hiding spot quite the challenge! On the other hand, Bear loves digging, yet Squirrel finds it hard to keep up – it's utterly exhausting!

Will these two friends overcome their differences and find a way to have fun together? Spoiler alert, you bet they will!
