Review

“This is a very simple book designed for younger ages. It's a fast reading book, but can help start a great discussion in giving the benefit of the doubt, in unconditional love, and in being a faithful friend.” ―Armchair Interviews

“Best known for fluid, superbly realistic oil paintings, Rohmann switches to thick-lined colored woodcuts and a simpler pictorial style for this nearly wordless, engaging, wacky episode. . . . Rohmann uses wordless, and sometimes even empty, frames to great comic effect, allowing huge animals to make sudden entrances from the side--or from above, and artfully capturing the expressions on their faces. Young readers and pre-readers will chortle at the silliness of it all while enjoying the sometimes-demanding friendship between these disparately sized chums.” ―Kirkus Reviews

“Mouse, the narrator who flies a red and yellow biplane, tells listeners that his friend Rabbit ""means well,"" but that trouble always follows him. Then comes a smart, sassy object lesson on how much trouble Rabbit brings. The fun of this is in the spacing and sequencing of the heavily ink-outlined drawings. After Rabbit has thrown Mouse's beloved biplane into a tree, one full page consists of tiny Mouse staring up, ink accents marking his exasperation. On the facing page, Rabbit darts off, promising a solution. The next double-spread shows an anxious Mouse as Rabbit drags one enormous tail into view. The space fills with a massive elephant. Then Rabbit pulls in, among others, a rhino, a reindeer, and a duck (followed, of course, by ducklings). Now, the two-page spread must be turned vertically to reveal a giant pyramid of animals, topped by a squirrel holding Mouse, who reaches for the biplane--then the mass topples. Rage-filled beasts turn on Rabbit. Mouse, flying in on his recovered plane, saves Rabbit from their clutches and claws. Tremendous physical humor delivers a gentle lesson about accepting friends as they are.” ―Booklist

小兔子天生心肠好，但奇怪的是，不管他做什么事，不管他走到哪里，就会惹出一大箩筐的麻烦。某天，他的好朋友小老鼠和他分享新的玩具飞机，一个不小心，飞机飞上了高高的枝头，小兔子信心的说：「别担心，小老鼠，看我的！」

小兔子只要一讲这句话，那可就糟糕了，因为这意味着，麻烦会像滚雪球般越来越大、一发不可收拾，他用推的、用拉的、用拖的，用尽各种方式，找来了许多动物：包括大象、河马、犀牛、鳄鱼、鹿、鸭子，一个迭一个，眼看差一点点就要构到枝头上的飞机了。于是，兔子抓住松鼠，松鼠又抓住小老鼠，小老鼠伸手一抓，砰砰碰碰。

小兔子和小老鼠这一场飞机救难记，让我们看到，唯有接受朋友的缺点，才会成就一段长长久久的友谊。这也是为什么在小兔子替他惹出一拖拉库的麻烦后，小老鼠还是会说：「他是我的好朋友！」
