He searches for a cozy home, befriends and clashes with other animals, learns to prepare for seasonal changes, and confronts hazards such as a farmer's dog and the temptation of a cornfield. Each chapter offers small lessons in resourcefulness, kindness, and community while showing the mouse assisting others, coping with misunderstandings, and finding food and shelter.
