As I read this storybook from 1970 with my five-year-old son we came to the following passage: “The four little hedgehogs who lived down the lane had the flu. It was sad. They couldn’t leave their house. And no one could visit them until they were well.” My son nodded knowingly and said, “Oh I get it. The flu is like coronavirus. They’re doing quarantine.”
