Fenn tries to hide his enormous tail on the first day of school. Lark tries to hurry the morning birds with an owl call that sounds like a falling kettle. Vesper takes one look at a penguin’s feet and starts guessing. Choose a school story, a listening story, or a Christmas game.

Fenn’s school story suits a listener around four and ends with louder pretend-bus noises. Lark’s first bird-listening trip suits seven and ends in a nap with a whispered joke. In Crispin and Vesper’s Christmas guessing game, Vesper gets her own turn in the box. This lively story suits seven and eight. Pick Lark for a quieter finish, or Fenn and Vesper for schoolroom sound play and gift-box jokes.
