We are delighted to be
part of the "Frosty Readers" project set up by Susan Silverman in New
York.
Our work is based on the
story "The Hat" by Jan Brett. The story is special to us because it
is about a hedgehog.
We have been sent the book
from Mrs Brunner's class in Indianna.
Mrs Brunner's class also
sent us a puppet hedgehog called "Prickles." We are sending Prickles
off to South Africa soon. He is part of a Travel Buddy
exchange.
