Today, she’s Bella the Storyteller, and she wants her story to have dragons and dinosaurs and pirates and unicorns and aliens in space! This is going to be the best story ever...but Rabbit and Squirrel might not agree.

Frank ja Bert on tagasi! Esimeses raamatus mängisid nad peitust, seekord plaanivad pikka rattaretke. Paraku pole Bert sugugi nii osav rattaga sõitma, kui ta ise arvab, ja kipub koledasti vänderdama, kuni kõik lõpeb... nagu ikka.Frank otsustab sõpra toetada ja võtab ta oma ratta peale. Bert on aga ootamatult raske. Ka mägi tundub kohutavalt järsk, nii et viimaks lamab Frank mäe otsas oimetuna maas. Kas ja kuidas sõbrad mäest alla saavad? Muidugi saavad, sest sõprus on üle kõige. Lihtsalt on vaja, et sul alati sõber seljataga oleks.Väikelastele mõeldud raamat oma eriliselt vahvate tegelaste ja rõhutatult koomilise visuaaliga pakub lõbusat ajaviidet ka lapsevanematele, üllatab nii leidliku teemakäsitluse kui ka lõpplahendusega.
