How would you solve the woodland's fuel shortage? Mickey Mole has the solution - make fuel from worms! "Worms is fool!" he shouts as he runs through Tinkers Coppice. His poor grammar and confusion with words often puzzles the other animals, but with the help of his friends he sets out on a grand adventure, getting himself into all sorts of trouble along the way. As Mickey's adventure unfolds it seems that there are many strange things going on in Tinkers Coppice. A jolly jaguar is leading rabbits like soldiers, a polar bear has a special invention which he is keeping secret, and the Lord of the woods is trying to solve all sorts of problems while his dopey dog just wants to play. Who do the pieces of the black jumper belong to? Who is the mysterious 'Little Bear'? Mickey will find out some of the details, but the stories of the other animals will be told at another time...
