Snow Bunny and her friends Mouse, Fox and Bear, live in the forest, and as Christmas draws near, they decide to put on a show. As they build a stage, and put up lights and curtains, each thinks about what their act might be. Snow Bunny has ideas for each of them, but just as she begins to think of what she might do, the audience begins to arrive. There is no time for her to do anything but introduce the other performers.

At the end, while Mouse, Fox and Bear are receiving the accolades, Snow Bunny feels a bit left out but then...

As school concerts and other performances are in full swing, there are going to be those who are disappointed that they might not have the spotlight they desired, so this is an excellent (and original) opportunity to show them that it takes a team on the stage and behind it to put on a show, and one can't happen without the other. It's also a timely reminder to acknowledge the back-stage folk who work so hard as well as remembering that there are those who prefer to be back-stage and respecting those feelings. Ask me how I know...

Themes: Christmas, Concerts.
