Zippy and the Worry Charm

Porcupines aren’t afraid of anything. Or so says Zippy, the dreamy porcupine, to his friends. But once he’s alone with Ben Thompson, clever cat, Zippy confides that he is in fact afraid of something — going to bed. You see, he has lost his Worry Charm — a charm that chases away the worries so he can sleep. He doesn’t know what to do at first, and then he realizes the answer lies deep in the forest.
