Hurry Up Now

"Time to get up for school! Hurry up now!" He heard Mrs. Grunt say. But Squeak didn't want to get up. He curled up even tighter in his ball and hid under his warm brown blanket. It was a dark and rainy morning on Habitat Drive. The wind was blowing down the chimney and through the letterbox of The Hedgehog Hotel, at The Green, Round the Corner.

Join little hoglet, Squeak Grunt on a windy and wet autumn morning as he gets ready for his day at Wistman's Wood school. Will he get there on time? Snuggle up and look inside to find out. Can you spot little Acorn Mouse and his friend in the pictures?
