October 05 The Hole to the Bottom
Chip, Chuck, and Chewy dig a hole just for fun, discovering a button, a spoon, and a very surprising fountain. When the splashing settles, the friends share a quiet moment beside their tiny moonlit pond.
Once upon a time, in a town called Hedgehogtown, three hedgehogs lived behind Mrs. Patterson's house. Their names were Chip, Chuck, and Chewy. One sunny afternoon, Chip had an idea. Chip always had ideas. Sometimes they were good ideas. Sometimes they were ideas about wearing acorns as hats.…

October 02 Quack Like a Hedgehog
Chip, Chuck, and Chewy try quacking, waddling, and flying so they can play with the ducks. After some very silly mishaps, the friends discover that being hedgehogs makes for a wonderful new game.
Once upon a time, at the bottom of Mrs. Patterson's garden in Hedgehogtown, there was a pond. And on that pond, there were ducks. There was a mummy duck. There were five fluffy yellow ducklings. And there was one very smug duck, who floated in the middle with his beak in the air, as if he owned the…

October 01 Three Gnomes and a Thousand Fireflies
Chip, Chuck, and Chewy try posing as garden gnomes to attract fireflies. After rumbling tummies and a tremendous sneeze, a quiet moment together turns the friends into three glowing little lanterns.
It was a warm summer night in Hedgehogtown. The sky was purple. The grass was cool. And all over Mrs. Patterson's garden, tiny lights were blinking on and off. Chip, Chuck, and Chewy sat on the garden wall with their mouths wide open. "Fireflies," whispered Chip. "Hundreds of them." "Thousands,"…

September 26 Chip, Chuck, Chewy, and Cousin Louis
Being silly is most fun when everyone gets to laugh together, and the kindest jokes are the ones you play with people, not at them.
In Hedgehogtown, behind Mrs. Patterson's garden shed, Chip was polishing his map pebble. Chuck was organizing snacks into piles. Chewy was hanging upside down from a daisy. This all seemed perfectly normal. Then something tiny shot out from under the mint leaves. It zipped past Chip's foot. It…

September 18 The Sky Soup Parade
When things do not go to plan, you can still have a wonderful time by using what the day gives you.
In Hedgehogtown, the sky looked as if it had put on a big gray sweater. That was not how Chip wanted the morning to look. Chip stood beside three very small bicycles behind Mrs. Patterson’s house. He had a leaf tucked under one arm. On the leaf was a map. On the map was a route. On the route were…

July 24 The Very Hungry Hedgehog
Being hungry can make you grumpy and impatient, but it's never an excuse to forget your manners — and sometimes what you need is already on its way if you just slow down and ask nicely.
Chip woke up hungry. Not regular hungry. Not even a little bit hungry. Chip woke up so hungry that his tummy made a noise like a very small bear trying to start a motorbike. BRRRRRRRGGGGLE. Just like that. He sat up in the little hedgehog den behind Mrs. Patterson's garden shed and blinked. Chuck…

June 16 The Great Splashy Battle
Sometimes the teammate who seems least important can surprise everyone, and games are funniest when everyone stays kind and laughs together.
In Hedgehogtown, behind Mrs. Patterson's garden shed, there was a sign stuck in the dirt. Chip had written it in big muddy letters. "WELCOME TO THE GREAT SPLASHY BATTLE." Chuck stood beside the sign with a cabbage leaf tied around his head like a helmet. Chuck looked very proud. Chewy stood beside…

June 11 Chip Chuck and Chewy Visit the Fire Station
Chip, Chuck, and Chewy visit the Hedgehogtown fire station for a morning tour led by the kind and patient Chief Bramble. Despite their very best intentions and one very thorough preparation list, the three hedgehogs manage to helmet a soup pot, unravel a fire hose across the entire station floor, and accidentally slide down the fire pole together. But when a tiny meep from inside a cabinet leads them to Marmalade the missing kitten, Chewy gets to do something only a very small hedgehog can do. A warm and funny story about why listening comes before helping.
In Hedgehogtown, there was a fire station with shiny red doors, bright silver ladders, and a bell so big it looked as if it could ring the moon right out of the sky. Chip had wanted to visit it for ages. "Today is the day," Chip said, marching across Mrs. Patterson's garden with a leaf tucked under…

June 02 Stella and the Sky Voyage Home
Chewy spots a large white bird circling the hidden glen — and it turns out to be Stella the Stork, who offers to fly the S.S. Recycling Bin and its crew all the way home to Hedgehogtown. There's just one problem: the boat is absolutely, hopelessly overloaded. Chuck must bid a tearful farewell to Sir Quacksworthy the rubber duck, a premium flat sitting-stone, and one-and-a-half loaves of bread before Stella can get airborne. The hedgehogs soar over meadows, church steeples, and the rapids they sailed through at the start of their adventure, before landing safely in Mrs. Patterson's garden — right beside the smug duck who never left. Over the last of Boom's s'mores, Mrs. Patterson sums it all up perfectly: adventures find you more friends than you set out looking for.
High above the hidden glen, something large and white was circling. Chewy noticed it first. He was hanging upside down from Boom the bear's favourite branch — which he had climbed by mistake, thinking it was a very tall stick — when he saw the enormous wings cutting slow loops through the bright…

May 28 The Bear in the Hidden Glen
Chip navigates the S.S. Recycling Bin far downstream to a beautiful hidden glen, where the three hedgehogs meet Boom — a huge, gentle bear with small glasses who is an expert at making s'mores. Chewy drops his marshmallow into the fire three times before Boom helps him get it perfectly golden-brown. Chuck takes one bite of a s'more and declares it the best moment of his life. The trio camps under a sky full of stars while Boom tells bedtime stories, and in the morning they set off loaded with a camping blanket, roasting sticks, and leftover s'mores. The boat is sitting very low in the water, Hedgehogtown is very far away — and Chewy has just spotted something large and white circling overhead.
The river had been winding for a very long time. Past the mossy stone bridge. Past the old mill with the squeaky wheel. Past the place where three ducks sat in a row on a log, all staring at the S.S. Recycling Bin as if they had never seen a boat made from old bottles and a wobbly plank before.…
