Mabel, a young fox, always gets what she wants. One day she sees a ball by a bush and wants it. When she gets there, Chester rabbit thanks her for finding his ball and Mabel makes her first friend. But soon she loses his friendship. Mabel misses Chester's friendship. Will she ever learn how to be a friend?
Mabel Wants a Friend is a cute, humorous story about learning to be a friend, and how it takes more than just wanting one. I also enjoyed Rosenthal's simple and expressive illustrations.
