Best friends Oliver (a cat) and Philbert (a mouse), who live together in an apartment, carefully pack for a picnic at the park; upon arrival, they face a sandwich-drenching rainstorm. Fortunately, the friends improvise a winning fallback plan that has "everything they need": each other. This appealingly simple ode to friendship features airy ink and watercolor art festooned with dialogue bubbles.
