　　兔子和老鼠兩個好朋友相約去野餐，沒想到路上遇到颳風下雨、蘋果有蟲、被大熊追等，老鼠總是說「壞消息！」，但兔子總能想成「好消息！」。但是，當他們遭到閃電襲擊時，兔子的樂觀態度終於讓老鼠再也無法忍受，他大聲對兔子咆哮……兩個好朋友的感情從此會發生怎樣的變化呢？

本書特色

　　作者麥可在本書刻畫了兩個朋友在短短的一天內，傳神地展現出極端不同的性情。他以充滿個性的漫畫手法巧妙處理了兔子與老鼠的肢體語言、臉部表情，呈現相當多樣的情緒反應。至於蝴蝶頁則被切割成18個正方形，其所包含的圖像，適足以刺激人們說出各種不同版本的故事。

Good news, Rabbit and Mouse are going on a picnic. Bad news, it is starting to rain. Good news, Rabbit has an umbrella. Bad news, the stormy winds blow the umbrella (and Mouse ) into a tree.
So begins this clever story about two friends with very different dispositions. Using just four words, Jeff Mack has created a text with remarkable flair that is both funny and touching, and pairs perfectly with his energetic, and hilarious, illustrations.

Good news, this is a book kids will clamor to read again and again
