A Perfect Wonderful Day with Friends

Philip Waechter

Raccoon plans to make an apple cake but discovers there are no eggs. A visit to Fox begins a chain of requests: Fox needs a ladder for a roof repair, Badger needs help with a crossword clue, and Bear may know the answer. As the friends travel through meadows and toward the river, they gather Crow, pick blackberries, fish, and eventually swim together. Their changing plans turn an ordinary summer day into a sequence of shared activities before they return to baking.
