A little boy named Peter and his trusty dog Harold are moving to a new house.  This house is nothing like their old house.  The woods surrounding the house are creepy at night.  The house is old and creaky.  Peter and Harold aren't happy, and worst of all, they both have trouble going to bed knowing that the dark, creepy woods are right outside their window.  As a solution, Peter constructs a friend out of pillows sewn together named Lenny.  It will be Lenny's job to guard the house at night and keep it safe.  There is only one problem.  Peter and Harold still can't sleep because they spend the whole night worrying that Lenny is lonely.  The next day, Peter makes another friend, this time a girl named Lucy, who will keep Lenny company.  Peter finds that a little girl named Millie lives in the house next door, and the whole troop of Peter, Harold, Lenny, Lucy and Millie become wonderful playmates.  recommended age: 5-8
