In every house, 

in every bed,

A bedtime book was being read...

Prepare to tuck into a magical tale about the importance of bedtime stories.  One night, all the animals' bedtime story books start disappearing! That's right, no more books  at night for the little owls, the small squirrels, hedgehogs or even skunks. Books are just disappearing left and right!

And that's when a mission is set ... to turn a wrong into right.
