No snow, rain, heat nor gloom of night will keep Harold the Hare Mail carrier and Reginald T. Hedgehog from heralding the news across Once Upon a Time! They hop on board the O.U.T.P.S. (Once Upon a Time Postal Service) truck to spend the day chugga-chugga, honk, HONKing across the Parchment Pass. Ride along as they enjoy many sights and meet great citizen critters while dutifully delivering the mail throughout Mythdom, Litropia, the Typographic Islands and beyond.

PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This original tale takes young listeners into Dorktales’ fantastical immersive world of “Once Upon a Time” to encourage their creativity and expand their imaginations. After listening to this story, here are some questions you can ask:

• What was your favorite stop on the Once Upon a Time Postal Service’s route?
• Who was your favorite character who got their special delivery?
• If you were able to stop in Once Upon a Time for a visit, what would you like to do there?
