Illustrated by
J. Otto Seibold.
Celerina the rabbit moves into what she thinks is an abandoned house that magically fixes anything she breaks, unaware that a snail named Gluey (who already lives there) is doing the fixing. Despite Celerina's not inviting Gluey to her party (during which the home is wrecked), the two become friends. Though convoluted, Walsh's tale has charm, and Seibold's signature digitally generated illustrations are ornate and stylish.
