Answer: Alex

When Joni-Pip sees the shooting star at the beginning of the story, she is wearing her brother Alex's dressing gown which he gave her.

Answer: Hetty

Ethelred-Ted introduces Hetty to Joni-Pip in Windy Woods at the beginning of the story.

Hetty's nickname is "Hetty the Wee" as "wee" is the Scottish word for "small". However, the author, Carrie King, admits that she may have had "Winnie the Pooh" in mind when she named the little Scottish hedgehog!

3. What is Poppy's nickname?

Answer: Poppy-Plump-Pij

Poppy is the sweet, good-natured wood pigeon who has a talent for getting names and words wrong!

The author of the book often says she based Poppy's character partly on herself, because she is also quite ditzy and forgetful!

8. Which of these is NOT one of Jemimah's nicknames?

Answer: Mij

There are actually three Jemimahs in the book, two are sometimes called Jem, but only one of them is called Jemmy and one of them is called Mimi.

Confusing, eh?

9. Which of these books has Ethelred-Ted not read?

Answer: Dick Whittington

Answer: Yes

Jack JITS back to 1942 to stop his Grandpa's little sister, Joni-Pip, from falling off a ladder and dying. Because of this, he changes the course of Time and accidentally leaves his mobile/cell phone behind.
