This is Ria. Welcome to Little Stories for Tiny People. You know, I almost couldn't record today due to a book

emergency. You see, last week I lent a book to my neighbor, an opossum named Sven. And I believe I made it clear that the book

needed to be kept inside the tree house at all times. Well, Sven might be an advanced reader,

but he's not the best listener. He returned the book this morning, completely waterlogged.

Apparently, he left it outside during a sun shower.

And it's not just any book.

It's on the history of airplanes of a paper variety.

So obviously, I was distraught. I spent the better part of the morning,

drying each page, walking back and forth in front of my oscillating fan. As you can imagine,

I was so absorbed in this task that I nearly forgot to tell you a story. In fact, I've completely forgotten

what the story is about. Let me just see here. What? Well, that's odd, because it seems our story

is also about a book emergency.

Hmm.

Let's hear it.

It's called Little Hedgehog and the Book Emergency.

Take it away, Charlotte.

Remember, there are no pictures.

You'll have to imagine the pictures in your mind.
