A collection of three new stories featuring the lovable characters of Mouse and Mole. What Might Have Been: While trying to fly a kite on a blowy day, Mouse and Mole think about what they could have been, but agree they are best as themselves. A Rainy Day: After several days of rain, Mouse and Mole just want it to go away. They try everything to get it to stop raining; telling it to stop, a stop-raining dance and song and even being nice to the rain, but nothing seems to be working. Atishoo! Mouse wakes one morning with a cold and Mole promises to molly-coddle him until he is better. But Mole must make sure everything is perfect before he can give it to Mouse.
