Barnaby Is Not Afraid of Anything

Barnaby, a badger, is out for a moonlight walk with his friends, Constance, a turtle, and Claire, a mole. As they walk along, they see strange tracks on the ground. They wonder what might have left the tracks. They keep going on their walk. They see the strange tracks again, and they seem to be leading to a little hut. Barnaby is very brave and walks to the hut, but when he sees a shadow of something with a very long nose, he runs back to his friends. Constance decides to see what’s in the hut, and she sees a shadow of something with a long nose and long, skinny fingers. Constance runs back to her friends. Can they be brave and find out what is there?
