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 because of his habit of sleeping almost all of the time.

Becoming lonely and depressed, HiberNation started to withdraw from the world. He began to hate school and became reluctant to participate in any activities.

But life, being life, came to his assistance with an answer to his problems.

Touted as a "classic for the modern age," and often compared to Aesop's Fables, the series is much enjoyed.
