Winnie the Pooh Meets The Hunchback of Notre Dame Read-Along

I am the Archdeacon of Notre Dame Cathedral, and in my time I have seen many things. But none so strange and wonderful as the tale of when Winnie the Pooh met Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame. To hear his story, you can read along with me in your book. You will know when it's time to turn the page when you hear this sound. (harp ringing) Let's begin now.

One stormy night, in the shadow of Notre Dame, some gypsies tried to sneak into Paris by boat. But a trap had been laid, and the evil Judge Frollo was waiting to arrest the gypsies. One of the woman, clutching a bundle, ran to the cathedral for help. In her haste, she tripped on the steps and fell to the ground. Frollo, thinking the bundle held stolen goods, was surprised to hear it cry. "A baby?" Then he saw his face. "A monster!"

(harp ringing, page turning)

Frollo was about to drop the bundle down a well when I stepped from the cathedral and commanded him to stop. He drew the child back, his hand quivering. "What must I do?" "Care for the child, and raise it as your own." Frollo was not pleased. But he agreed, on the condition that we keep the child in the cathedral. Frollo gave the child a cruel name, a name that means "half formed" --- Quasimodo.
