Along the way, Mo meets wise Grandpa Owl, the caring father and Mother Chickadee, a polite squirrel. He helps the funny field mice and dances with the wonderful reindeer. All these friendly animals warn him about a dangerous bear they've seen roaming the forest. But Mo desperately wants to find the beautiful twinkling light; his desire is greater than his fear.
