The Society of Distinguished Lemmings has many rules. Always act in a distinguished manner. No climbing. No mud. No questioning the rules. Bertie the lemming has had enough and goes outside where he meets a bear. The bear doesn't know about the rules, and Bertie finds that he likes climbing and mud and other undistinguished things. When the other lemmings meet the bear, they try to make him follow the rules. Can the bear ever be distinguished? Does he need to be?
This delightfully illustrated book is filled with characters and side conversations that will have you re-reading pages and checking for details (and hats). It focuses on the message that you can be distinguished in any way you choose.
