Christmas wood is full of animals: Badger, Fidgety Fox, Owl (not Wise Old Owl, just Owl), the Rabbit family, Tiny Mouse, and Robin.

It's nearly Christmas and all the animals are getting ready to celebrate. Badger is looking for new friends, Tiny is making (or is that eating...) gingerbread, and Rosie Rabbit just can't get any peace and quiet!

Five festive stories from the animals in the wood all come together in a fantastically Christmassy finale in a barn with some rather special guests...
