Hedgehog C. R. Mudgeon, who is used to having everything exactly the same every day, has some adjusting to do when a lively new neighbor moves into the tree next door.
While yearning for a change, a 350-year-old Douglas fir tree of Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia, is blown over in a storm, and his animal friends help him prepare for a surprising destiny in Toronto.
When a storm separates Stumpy the squirrel from her newborn babies, her animal friends Kona the dog, Murray the bat, and Gwendolyn the hermit crab come to the rescue.
Squirrel is determined to have a very fun day with each of his friends, but Mouse is too busy cleaning to have fun, Turtle is too sleepy to leave his log, and Rabbit is too set in his ways to try anything new.
