Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Hungry for some ripe, scrumptious hazelnuts, a crafty little mouse with a big appetite takes a stroll through the wild, dense forest. But, there, deep in the heart of the green realm, formidable adversaries lurk in the shadows, and before long, the poor, defenceless little mouse crosses paths with a villainous fox, an ominous owl, and a stealthy snake. Of course, all of them cannot wait to gobble him up. Can the brave little mouse put his vibrant imagination to good use to persuade them not to eat him? Written by Nick Riganas |
