There has been no rain for months, and all of the animals in Gooseberry Park are in danger. Can the crew of dear friends come up with a brilliant solution in time to save the day? Absolutely!

I am in love with Kona the chocolate Labrador. I want a dog that loves me like Kona loves Professor Albert and Gwendolyn the hermit crab and all of his friends. Arthur Howard's lovingly goofy illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to Cynthia Rylant's comforting, just-the-right-amount of-humor prose. (
