A group of squirrels-called a "scurry"-express concern when a "mischief of mice" who once played in the woods disappear. After the squirrels ask other forest creatures what might have occurred and accuse still others of committing foul deeds, an aptly named "sleuth of bears" step in to solve the puzzle. The game"s afoot-literally-as the bears wisely follow tracks in the snow, which lead them to a tree. Could the mice be inside?
