The jungle animals try to share their excitement over Christmas with Jim Panzee, but he feels too grumpy to appreciate their efforts.

"On the spookiest night of the year, Jim Panzee and his jungle friends brave the dark for trick-or-treating. But the jungle looks and sounds very different at night. As the hunt for treats gets spookier and spookier, Jim and his friends tell themselves not to be scared, but a pair of glowing eyes in the pitch-dark jungle might push them over the edge! Or maybe they'll make a new friend."--

"Jim has been asked to egg-sit, but he wants to have fun with his friends. Is there a way he can do both?"--

At first Jim is impressed with Norman's new pet bugs, but he quickly becomes jealous of all the time Norman spends with them and when the bugs have babies, Jim declares Norman has too many pets.
