This picture book has characters from Walt Disney's The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad which fist came out as a movie in 1949. That movie was adapted from Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows. In this book Toad almost hurts his friends Ratty, Badger and Mole each time he tried to drive something with a motor. The first time was a motorboat, which he sank. Then, he crashed his car into a tree. The last time happened when he almost flew into them with his airplane. Each time he missed them and each time he ruined their picnic. Toad then promised to stay away from anything with a motor for "a year and a day". On the fourth try for a picnic, they have a run in with a bull and were saved by Toad, who was in a hot air balloon. No matter how much you annoy your friends they know you'll always be there when they need you and vice-versa.
