32 p., Lerner, 1997.
In this story, each family in a house is a different species. George, a rabbit, expresses overt prejudice against the new neighbors because they are pigs, but finally his friends and the new kids are having so much fun that he joins in and finds that he can have fun with them after all. When a family of cats moves in, George's first reaction is that they're too different from "us," but he only hesitates for a minute. This story is a good demonstration of how prejudice can keep us from meeting new friends.
