An inventor rabbit is confident his latest creation, a rain-making robot, will save the animals from a drought. He refuses help from the others but soon learns he needs their talents after all. The cartoony hand-drawn illustrations are humorous and playful, but the interaction between the tech-savvy rabbit and the rest of the animals feels slightly incongruous.

In three chapters, an unlikely friendship develops between best friends, Sara and Louisa, and their odd neighbor Barry. They fight over a tire swing, have a giant snowball fight, and mourn the loss of a special tree. The vignettes are written and illustrated in a graphic-novel style, which will resonate with readers just ready for chapter books.
