In this gentle woodland tale, Uncle Wiggily Longears encounters a Tame Rabbit gathering flowers for a children's party hosted by Don and Mab. While observing the party from the bushes, Uncle Wiggily sees the children's fun nearly spoiled because they forgot a nutcracker. At the Tame Rabbit's prompting, Uncle Wiggily fetches Johnnie Bushytail, a friendly squirrel, who delights the children by expertly cracking all their hard-shelled nuts with his teeth, saving the party snack time before scampering away.
