Andy and Mandy live in the woods like most bears do, but Andy and Mandy are not your normal bears. Most bears are afraid of people, but Andy and Mandy Bear are more curious about people than they are scared. There is a house very near the edge of the woods, and that is where Andy and Mandy spend most of their time, watching the family that lives in this house. The family was leaving for a ten-day vacation. Andy had watched as they left the house and counted two adults and two children. Andy was sure the house was empty now, so he decided to see if he could find a way inside the house. He checked the front door; it was locked. He checked the back door; it was also locked. He checked the windows and finally found a window that had been left open slightly. After calling to Mandy, he opened the window all the way and climbed inside. He found himself in the bathroom. Andy was excited when he saw the bathtub and quickly decided to fill the tub with water and take a bath. When Mandy got to the bathroom window, she saw Andy sitting in the tub with the water quickly filling the tub. Suds were going everywhere. Quckee Duck and Finny Fish live in the bathroom, and they had introduced themselves to Andy and Mandy. They all quickly became friends as they enjoyed a playful time in the tub. Our story begins as Andy, acting as the scout, opens the bathroom door to lead the way to explore the rest of the house. What will they find and where will they decide to go?
