On a windy autumn day, a group of mice disappears. Other animals respond to the mystery: squirrels are frightened, coyotes howl nearby, ravens are suspected, and porcupines may be able to help. A group of bears takes up the search for the missing mice. Told in rhyme, the story uses collective nouns for its animal groups as the clues lead through a nature-filled whodunit.
