Can a kitten help a dog in trouble? She can if she has compassion and courage! Even though she's new to the farm, Feebs' willingness to help Ollie outweighs her fear of being in a new place, alone, and at night. She leads a rescue after a storm causes a branch to break, fall, and pin poor Ollie to the ground. She's awarded an awesome red "bandana" which shows she's part of the bandana buddies - a club created by Maddie for the animals as they learn important lessons or show valuable friendship qualities. Feebs is introduced to a new friend the next day: a barn owl.

Young, unthinking, and impetuous, Rascal gets swept away by a whirlwind into a forest filled with uncertainty. Injured, but able to walk, he secures a safe place for the night. Jasper, a rabbit, greets him in the morning. He provides breakfast and offers to get Ollie, the farm dog, to help him find his way home. But, Rascal doesn't listen to Jasper's instruction. He wanders away and gets into still more trouble. Fortunately, Ollie arrives in time to save his life. There's a serious discussion about the importance of thinking ahead. Rascal promises to remember this lesson and Ollie leads him home where he shares his adventures, and what he's learned, with his mom.

Nibbler, a beaver, works so hard. When Captain, a river otter comes to play in his pond, he causes damage and even more work for Nibbler. He tries to ignore the problem at first. Then he verbally attacks Captain. Fortunately, Ollie, the farm dog, hears the comotion and comes by to see what's wrong. He listens to Nibbler and asks a few good questions. After a walk, Nibbler calms down and has a new perspective. He talks to Captain and they share a little about themselves. The beaver comes up with a brilliant idea and Captain eventually agrees. They work together to solve a problem and become friends as well.

Adult barn owls raise their young together, taking turns with the feeding task. But Papa Hoot is missing! Hootin feels she must handle raising her two young owlets alone. But is she really alone?

Or can she be flexible? The farm dog, Ollie, and the barn cat, Feebs, bring this to her attention and volunteer to watch over them for her while she's gone. While in the woods, a storm comes up and she has to find shelter. She finds it - and more - when she meets a red fox named Kit.

A surprise ending will make everyone smile.

Kit's loney and wants to make new friends at the Cooper farm. Ollie, the farm dog, explains the rules for friendship and she agrees to them.

Unfortunately, she slips up and deserts Zartie, the turtle, who was depending on her. She learns from her mistake and apologizes.

Later, a fire breaks out in her forest home and she runs for her life. But coyotes are near! Together she and Ollie fight them off and win the day. Is she accepted as a friend now?

Kindness stinks!

At least that’s what Sally Skunkskin thinks. She’s rude when the beaver minds his business. She’s rude when the coyotes and foxes have fun. She’s even rude when Sneaks the snake tries to help her. She’s a blunt skunk who needs a lesson in manners. But will she ever learn to hold her tongue the way others hold their noses? She’d better because it’s the only way Sally will ever enjoy the sweet smell of friendship.

Sally Skunkskin: Grumbles to Grateful is a warm and gentle story about how to make friends and get along with others—even when you think no one likes you.
