Little Owl's Night (narrated by Janet Varney): It's evening in the forest and Little Owl wakes up from his day-long sleep to watch his friends enjoying the night. Hedgehog sniffs for mushrooms, Skunk nibbles at berries, Frog croaks, and Cricket sings. A full moon rises and Little Owl can't understand why anyone would want to miss it.

Cinnamon was a princess, a long time ago, in a small hot country, where everything was very old. Cinnamon did not talk.
