Your beautiful drawing and story aside about dressed up animals reminded me one of my favourites books. It's written by a Romanian writer, small and square like a CD, a story about lonelyness, with a girl and a hedgehog going to the theatre together. Each chapter begins with a drawing. And the motto is a poem by Czeslaw Milosz called "Throughout our lands".
Such a beautiful memories! It looks like a nice book (I love hedgehogs!) ^_^
