What to do if a rather insistent bear squats on your porch today? Followed in short order by a shaggy squirrel, a spraying skunk, a playful possum, and a bevy of forest critters large and small? This hilarious cumulative tale of reluctant hospitality and generous inclusivity will leave readers chanting, "OKAY. OKAY! YOU CAN STAY." But watch out! That porch is starting to sway. . . .
Jane Yolen's uproarious chant-aloud story is brought to life by Rilla Alexander's dazzling retro-hip illustrations in an exuberant collaboration sure to take its place alongside such cumulative classics as This is the House that Jack Built and There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.

      "A bear sat on my porch today / and wanted to stay, and wanted to stay." A girl tolerates a series of porch invaders (squirrel, skunk, etc.) until a bird capsizes the gathering, and the menagerie must collectively restore order. This is a witty cumulative tale with bold and boisterous illustrations and rhymes so bouncy they might as well be song lyrics.
