A squirrel has gone too far from the tree when he was gathering acorns for the Winter. He finds himself on the blacktop of a kindergarten school. Recess has just begun, and the kindergarteners are out on the blacktop. Realizing that Winter is coming soon, the squirrel must make it back to the tree he is from, safely. However, the children will attempt to capture the squirrel and keep it as a pet. The squirrel must escape kindergarteners, maneuver through the busy street, and make it back to the tree in order to be prepared for the upcoming Winter.
