A lighthouse lunch takes an unexpected turn

Bear lives alone in a lighthouse and handles the daily work of keeping house—and catching lunch. When the catch is Eustace, a fish who wants to return to his life in the sea, the meal becomes a playful dilemma. The setup brings an unlikely bear-and-fish friendship into a comic tussle over what happens next, with the possibility of Eustace’s release hanging over the story. Lian Cho’s picture book pairs this animal adventure with illustrations and humor, framing its central question around appetite, choice, and whether a would-be lunch can become a friend.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books about animals.
  • Young readers who like stories centered on friendship and a funny predicament.
