Half Way through Book 1 and a Hidden Story

Hi, this is Chris again, Wow, we are now half way through Book 1 and I am so pleased with the stories so far. I’m also so happy with how Hope has been reading the stories that I’m asking her if she will do the rest of the Book.

I do plan, though, to ask others to read the stories in Books 2 and 3.

But what has surprised me is that I found out that all the animals so far have actually gotten together to collaborate on an amazing project without my knowledge. So here it is, a story that will only appear here and will not be in the actual books.
