- Synopsis
- Imagine a world in which the roles of animals and humans are reversed: Becky Bear, her little brother Ben Bear and their parents eat breakfast together while watching the morning news. Becky goes to school with her animal friends, her parents go to work, and they all take turns walking and feeding their beloved pet - Norman the human.
- Not all humans are as lucky as Norman though, and when Becky Bear discovers how humans are being mistreated by some animals she decides something must be done. Becky's actions inspire all the animals to debate an important issue. Some animals support humans' right to freedom while others argue that human testing is necessary for developing medicines for animals, and human habitats must be destroyed to make way for animal housing developments.
- What will happen when humans are given their freedom back? Becky and her friends and family learn that things don’t always go the way you plan, but that it is indeed possible for animals and humans to live together in peace.
