Creature
"It was cold, it was wet, it was trembling and hairy. But then it awoke... Growling and SCARY!"
No one is expecting the Creature. It arrives, makes itself at home with the children and becomes part of the family, however hard they try to get rid of it! Until one day it makes a nest on the top bunk and goes very quiet... What could be going on?
