This is Ria. Welcome to Little Stories for Tiny People. Hang on a second. There is, well, there's a

frog on the ledge outside my window, and I know how this is going to sound, but it appears to be trying to get my attention.

The frog just knocked on my window.

Hello? Is there something you... Oh, Well, of course. Yes, come in. This is amazing. I have a guest that I didn't even have to coordinate schedules with. Everyone, please welcome. Sorry, what was your name? Please welcome.

Ollie, the frog.

Ollie, I do hope you'll excuse the clutter in my studio.

I was planning to move all those zebra figurines after lunch tomorrow.

Hmm?

Oh, yes.

Take a seat anywhere.

You can just push aside that pile of toothpicks. Oh, is that right?

Ollie says he has listened to some of my stories from the other side of the window during his work breaks,

but they've been a bit muffled. So here he is, to hear a story clearly for the first time.

Oh, what kind of work do you do, Ollie?

Huh, that's funny.

He says he's a pet sitter.

It's a bit of a coincidence because our story today is about pets.

And in fact, as you'll hear, Ollie, there are quite a few ribbits in this story, but there are no, you know what, I shouldn't give that away.

You'll just have to listen to the story.

Let's hear it.

It's called Take Your Pet to School Night.

Take it away, Hazel.
