Humorous text recalling If You Give a Mouse a Cookie but with a sci-fi twist relates the chain of events that would occur if "you" (an imaginative anthropomorphic blue rabbit) built a jet pack. Boldly colored digital illustrations, sometimes with vignettes or panels, include plenty of details to notice on repeat perusals; a handwriting-like font creates a casual feel.

Her parents don't want a dog, but that doesn't stop Amelia from hatching a well-thought-out and -executed plan to get her heart's desire. Colorful, skillfully composed illustrations chronicle Amelia's scheme, from hypothetical questions to an imaginary dog to searching for said imaginary dog at the animal shelter to bringing a real dog home. Fellow dog-owner-wannabes will be in awe.
