Fox is lonely. He can’t see his friends anywhere, so he goes to find them.

His first stop is the Mouse family. But nobody seems to be in.

Mrs Squirrel’s nuts are here, but she Isn’t.

Fox can’t find Mr Hedgehog either. Where could they all be?

The woods is feeling festive today, but Fox can’t find any of his friends!
