Annie forms a club for girls who love teacups and other dainty things, but she will always love her cousin Henry and his big drooly dog too.

Annie and her pet rabbit, Snowball, invite Henry and Mudge to a dress-up birthday party, but there is some confusion about what the guests are supposed to wear.

Based on the true story of a carrier pigeon named GI Joe, who braved enemy fire and other hazards to deliver a crucial message that prevented the bombing of an Italian town during World War II.

Annie's friends Henry and Mudge, and especially her rabbit Snowball, help her get over feeling nervous about being in a school play.

Annie takes her rabbit to the home of her new friend, Sarah, to play and enjoys seeing the pretty house full of frilly things, walking in the beautiful garden, and making a tiny garden house for a fairy tea party.
