Doctor Rabbit lives in the tallest tree of the Big Green Woods, where he tends to the aches and colds of his fellow woodland creatures. Cheerful and ever‑ready to help, he’s become a trusted friend to rabbits, squirrels, birds, and even the occasional shy mouse. His days are filled with gentle remedies and lively conversations, making the forest a healthier, happier place.
When news arrives that little Billy Rabbit is gravely ill, Doctor Rabbit faces a dilemma: the only way to reach the sick bunny is to cross the Wide Prairie, a stretch of open land where the crafty Ki‑Yi Coyote prowls. The coyote, ever‑watchful for an easy meal, turns the journey into a risky adventure. As Doctor Rabbit wrestles with his fear of being caught, he must decide whether to brave the danger for the sake of a sick friend.
