Meet three little hedgehogs - Toko, Tiki, and Tutu - in the story The Hat House by Tina Wijesiri. The hedgehogs had nowhere to live and they went looking for a new home. They were very tired after walking for a long time and decided to take a nap. They fell asleep under a giant mushroom. After waking up, they continued searching for a new home and it was then something big and black came out of the sky and fell on Toto. They thought the big black hat was perfect for their house and they decided to stay in it. The next day Toko and Tiki went in search of food while Tutu stayed in the hat house. When they got back, they saw Tutu trying to hold on to the hat which was getting blown away. Their beautiful hat house flew into the sky and landed near Bobo, Bibi, and Bubu, the three rabbits. The rabbits refuse to give the hat back to the hedgehogs and there is a tug of war between them. Will they get their hat house back?
