0:52:13 > 0:52:17Now, tonight's story is about two very special hedgehogs.

0:52:17 > 0:52:22One of them is Little Hedgehog and the other is his Grandma.

0:52:22 > 0:52:25Would you like to hear all about them?

0:52:25 > 0:52:26Fantastic.

0:52:26 > 0:52:29Well, sit yourselves down comfortably.

0:52:29 > 0:52:33This story is called I Love My Grandma

0:52:33 > 0:52:36and it's by David Bedford and Brenna Vaughan.

0:52:38 > 0:52:41Little Hedgehog and Grandma Hedgehog loved to play

0:52:41 > 0:52:43hide and seek together.

0:52:43 > 0:52:47One day, when Grandma went to find Little Hedgehog,

0:52:47 > 0:52:50Little Hedgehog hid.

0:52:50 > 0:52:52He put his paws over his mouth

0:52:52 > 0:52:56so that Grandma couldn't hear him giggling.

0:52:56 > 0:53:01"Where, oh, where can Little Hedgehog be?" said Grandma.

0:53:01 > 0:53:04"I want to make a tasty picnic and I need help."

0:53:04 > 0:53:08Little Hedgehog giggled again.

0:53:08 > 0:53:12"Oh, well," said Grandma. "I shall have to make the picnic myself."

0:53:14 > 0:53:18Little Hedgehog followed closely behind Grandma.

0:53:18 > 0:53:20"I wish Little Hedgehog were here

0:53:20 > 0:53:24"to help me pick juicy blackberries," said Grandma.

0:53:24 > 0:53:26When she wasn't looking,

0:53:26 > 0:53:30Little Hedgehog picked the biggest blackberries he could reach

0:53:30 > 0:53:33and put them into grandma's basket.

0:53:33 > 0:53:37"What a lot of berries," said Grandma, surprised.

0:53:37 > 0:53:39"I already have enough for baking."

0:53:39 > 0:53:43Little Hedgehog scampered into Grandma's kitchen

0:53:43 > 0:53:46to find the best place to hide.

0:53:46 > 0:53:51Little Hedgehog crouched down low so that Grandma couldn't see him.

0:53:51 > 0:53:56"If only Little Hedgehog were here to help me," said Grandma.

0:53:56 > 0:53:59Little Hedgehog giggled again.

0:53:59 > 0:54:04Then he licked his lips as Grandma Hedgehog poured sweet,

0:54:04 > 0:54:08scrumptious honey into her mixing bowl.

0:54:08 > 0:54:12"Honey is my treat for Little Hedgehog," said Grandma.

0:54:12 > 0:54:16Little Hedgehog crept out from his hiding place.

0:54:16 > 0:54:21He tried not to make a sound as he tasted the honey for himself.

0:54:21 > 0:54:24But it was too tasty.

0:54:24 > 0:54:28"Yum," whispered Little Hedgehog,

0:54:28 > 0:54:31then he hurried back to his hiding place.

0:54:31 > 0:54:35Suddenly, "Ah-ha," said Grandma.

0:54:35 > 0:54:41"Someone has been tasting my honey and they've left sticky footprints."

0:54:41 > 0:54:45Oh, no. Little Hedgehog didn't want to be found.

0:54:45 > 0:54:46Not yet.

0:54:48 > 0:54:51Grandma followed the teeny tiny, sticky footprints

0:54:51 > 0:54:53across the kitchen.

0:54:53 > 0:54:59"Someone has been playing hide and seek with me," she said, smiling.

0:54:59 > 0:55:04Then, "I've found you, Little Hedgehog," said Grandma.

0:55:05 > 0:55:09But a Little Hedgehog wasn't behind the rocking chair.

0:55:09 > 0:55:12There were only more sticky footprints.

0:55:14 > 0:55:18Grandma followed the sticky footprints out of the kitchen

0:55:18 > 0:55:20and into the garden.

0:55:20 > 0:55:23The sticky footprints went round and round

0:55:23 > 0:55:26and stopped by the flowerpots.

0:55:26 > 0:55:31"I've found you this time, Little Hedgehog," said Grandma.

0:55:31 > 0:55:35But Little Hedgehog wasn't behind the flowerpots.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37He was inside one.

0:55:37 > 0:55:40"Surprise!" said Little Hedgehog,

0:55:40 > 0:55:44giggling as he gave Grandma a big hug.

0:55:44 > 0:55:47"Well done, Little Hedgehog," said his Grandma.

0:55:47 > 0:55:50"You are the best at hide and seek.

0:55:50 > 0:55:54"And I hope you're hungry because our picnic's ready."

0:55:54 > 0:55:57"I AM hungry," said Little Hedgehog.

0:55:57 > 0:55:59But when he looked around the garden,

0:55:59 > 0:56:02he couldn't see a picnic anywhere.

0:56:02 > 0:56:04"Where is it?" he asked.

0:56:04 > 0:56:06Grandma giggled.

0:56:06 > 0:56:09"You have to find it," she said.

0:56:09 > 0:56:13Little Hedgehog searched around the garden and soon found

0:56:13 > 0:56:16honey cookies

0:56:16 > 0:56:18and fruit salad.

0:56:18 > 0:56:23And then Grandma brought out a giant blackberry and honey cake.

0:56:23 > 0:56:27"Yum!" said Little Hedgehog.

0:56:27 > 0:56:30It was the best he had ever tasted.

0:56:30 > 0:56:34"I love Grandma's picnics," Little Hedgehog shouted happily.

0:56:34 > 0:56:38"And I love my grandma."

0:56:40 > 0:56:43That story was called I Love My Grandma.

0:56:45 > 0:56:49Grandma made some delicious treats for the picnic, didn't she?

0:56:49 > 0:56:51Now, as it's night-time,

0:56:51 > 0:56:54lots more little hedgehogs will be waking up

0:56:54 > 0:56:57to go exploring in the dark.

0:56:57 > 0:57:00But it's time for you to go to bed.

0:57:00 > 0:57:04So off you go to get curled up, warm and cosy.

0:57:04 > 0:57:07I'll back soon with another bedtime story.
