After causing a mess, anxious young armadillo Lola runs away; she soon meets up with other animals likewise catastrophizing about their own accidents. The new friends first plan to hide in the library "FOREVER!" but ultimately learn to take responsibility for their mistakes and move on. Hyperbolic speech-bubble dialogue and aptly hectic illustrations convey the panic that will be familiar to many young readers.
