After receiving an urgent mountaintop message from the blue jay, Mouse proclaims to all the woodland creatures: “The Shindig is coming!” The entire forest is soon abuzz with everyone asking the same question: What is a shindig? Meetings are held. Assumptions are made. Honey cake is served. Finally Bear declares the answer. A shindig is a party, which is just like a meeting only fun. Problem solved! . . . Or is it?
When the blue jay finally reaches the party-prepping crew, all that pep turns to panic. The blue jay's message wasn’t an invitation. It was a warning! THE SHINDIG IS COMING! Hooves, claws, and paws scatter when the mysterious forest visitors arrive at last. And opossum faints. Again.
