A group of farm animals dresses up for a fancy party at a neighbor's house. When dinner looks like just plain cornbread, a grumpy Rooster leaves early and misses a delicious surprise hidden inside.
When Nicki drops his white mitten in the snow, he goes on without realizing that it is missing. One by one, woodland animals find it and crawl in; first, a curious mole, then a rabbit, a badger and others, each one larger than the last. Finally, a big brown bear is followed in by a tiny brown mouse and what happens next makes for a wonderfully funny climax.
