Otis especially loves to be \"It,\" finding his friends as they hide. Yet when the newest addition to the farm--a bounding puppy who can't sit still and has a habit of licking faces--tries to hide, he finds his attention wandering and is soon lost in the forest. Night falls and Otis, knowing his new friend is afraid of the dark, sets out to find him. There's just one problem: Otis is \u003ci\u003ealso\u003c\/i\u003e afraid of the dark.
