Summary

Find this full story in Little Stories Premium under its original air date, 11/30/2024. Little Hedgehog and Bebe's new protégé, a dragonfly named Philomena, will be knocking on the burrow door at precisely 3:37 am. YAY! Yay. But their plans must change when a tiny, orderly babysitter appears at the burrow door, ready to care for the hedgehogs while Mr. Hedgehog attends a conference. Find out what happens in this mildly ridiculous tale about two tiny hedgehogs, an even tinier babysitter, and a dragonfly protégé who could really benefit from rescheduling her tutoring session. This story will be exclusive to Little Stories Premium for a while before rotating back into the free story collection.
