Hedgie and the Cloud Kingdom
by 9-year-old Naomi, California
One day a little hedgehog named Hedgie went to a fair. She saw some bright colorful balloons. She took the balloons and floated up to a cloud that turns out to be a magical cloud kingdom. There she found other hedgehogs from all over the world who had also floated up to the cloud kingdom with balloons. The cloud kingdom was the best! It had everything a hedgehog could wish for. It had other hedgehogs to play with, lots of balloon games and plenty of tasty snacks. After a while the hedgehogs began to miss their friends on the ground. So then all the hedgehogs went on a quest to get back to the ground. They waited until it was a foggy day when all the clouds get lower so they can climb down the clouds like a staircase. Then when they are low enough they jump onto a building then onto a tree then onto the ground. Their hedgehog friends were so happy to see them that they smothered them in hugs.
