Rabbit has an orderly, simple life, and he likes it that way. One rainy night, Frog appears uninvited on his doorstop and barges in with his snacks and pillows. Rabbit tolerates the intrusion until Frog appears with his entire family. Rabbit puts his foot down and kicks them out, but once they're gone, will he miss them? (I thought this would be a little tough for three year olds, but my little frog lover giggled from beginning to end.)
