The Hedgehog's Dream Castle

In a sunny meadow, a small hedgehog with soft brown spines and a red scarf spends his days watching clouds and imagining distant lands. One night he dreams of a splendid castle built from flowers, with walls of petals, towers of twigs and a roof of green leaves. When he wakes, he longs for the castle to be real.

He tells his friends Rabbit, Squirrel and Mouse about the dream, and together they decide to build a small version just his size. Rabbit marks the ground and weaves the twig walls, Squirrel gathers petals and leaves, and Mouse adds the delicate windows and door, while the hedgehog designs where each tower stands. Written by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK, this gentle tale can be read on Onlinemasal Com.Tr and is suited to young children and bedtime reading aloud.
