These read-aloud stories tell of Harvey Stoat and his friends Olivia Vole, Charity Rabbit, Badger and Hog, who all go to the same school in Crack Willow Wood. So too does Billy Weasel, who sits next to Harvey and is always causing trouble. In fact, Harvey gets so fed up with Billy that in one story he tries to make time stand still so that he won't have to go to school! Read too about how Billy Weasel nearly gets Charity Rabbit into trouble over an important parcel and turns up uninvited at Harvey's birthday party; how Badger gets a bad case of the Tuesday blues and how Harvey discovers an old skull and learns some truths about the tooth fairies!
