My Friend Rabbit by Eric Rohmann, a Caldecott Medal winner (American Library Associations' illustrators award), is adorable.
Rabbit means well but always gets into trouble. When he gets Mouse's new airplane caught in a tree, he comes up with an idea to get it down.
Somehow he find an elephant, a rhinoceros, a hippopotamus, a bear, a moose, an alligator, four ducks, a goose and a squire to help him.
After this plan leave a pile of angry, bruised animals, Mouse rescues Rabbit with his now free plane. Rabbit is so happy to have such a good friend that he hugs Mouse, who then cannot see where he is flying, and the plane gets caught in a tree...
The illustrations in this picture book are beautiful!
