Thank Goodness You’re Hereis as pint-sized as the protagonist itself, and presents a very palatable two-hour adventure across the fictional town of Barnsmouth, filled with sidesplitting moments at every turn. But just as there are plenty of jokes to catch on to, there are also many achievements that you can easily miss.
One of those achievements is called Friends of the Forest, and it involves listening to all the Woodland Creatures. These are not some spooky creatures but rather the prattling critters hidden so well you’ll want to slap everything you come across to make them appear. Here’s where to find them.

Where To Find The Woodland Creatures
There are many animals you’ll come across, butnot all of them count toward unlocking the achievement. The Woodland Creatures are, in fact, only thoseanimals that can talkin the game and arenot involved in story progression.
The Singing Mice
The singing mice are a cheeky trio that put on animpromptu concertwhen you give thetrash can and its two neighboring trash bags a good slapin quick succession. They pop up in the following three places:
You only need tohear their performance oncefor the Friends of the Forest achievement, but if you interact with them in these three instances, you’ll also collect The Rat Pack achievement.

The Mole
The mole is found inBumsworth Square, to theright of Dr. Bumbum’s statue, in abald patch of soil. You’ll need to play a quick game ofWhac-A-Moleby slapping the dirt mound three times to make him pop up from the soil.
The Mole willinvite you to his underground home. When youpass through the underground tunnel for the third time(near the end game), he’ll reappear, and that’s when you’ll also earn theMole Supper achievement.

The Town Vole
This cheeky rodent jokingly introduces himself as thefridge stoatand can be found insideMother Megg’s Buttery Goodsbakery. This shop is located in the western portion of the town square, but it is initially locked because Collin, being the dolt he is, haslost the keys to it. For the shop to open up, you’ll need to fetchRonny the locksmith from the pub.
Once you’re able to step inside the bakery, help yourself to thefreezer room, and hit thecardboard box labeled"Gloria’s Whole Wheat". The Town Vole will appear from this box.

The Owl
There is an owl you can findinside a treein thebarn areasouth ofBumberly Road (East), and he’ll share some of his worthless wisdom with you. To reach the barn, you’ll need torestore the water supply to the gardener’s hose. Upon returning to the garden for a second time, you’ll find asmall opening in the wooden fence, which you can squeeze through.
This will lead you to thesmall river area, where you’re able to side-scroll to the right and reach acracked metal rooftopwith some tires. Jump a few times on the cracked spot until it gives way, causing both the roof and you to tumble down. You’ll find yourselfemerging from a garagelocated in the barn. Give the tree with the big hole a good smack, and the owl will make an appearance.

The Ducks
On your second visit to the river, while you’re out searching forJasper’s hammer, you’ll comeacross some ducks. After you reel in the hammer from the river, head to the right to find them discussing aparking ticketin the river.
You won’t find the ducks unless youtoss a slice of bread from the toaster into the riveron your first pass through the area.
