She's a grade school librarian and in one of her first-grade classes, she was reading a cute story featuring a cute little hedgehog. In the course of the story, the hedgehog is attending a school taught by a cat and all of her friends were other cute little animals. An interesting (and did I mention, cute?), anthropomorphic stew.What was funny, though, was the fact that this little hedgehog from the story had a pet dog. Most of the children in first grade class had no problem with it all, but one little girl raised her hand and asked my wife this question:How can a hedgehog have a dog?Up until then, my wife hadn't really given that story much thought. It didn't fit the framework of the story and for the little girl, it broke her suspension of disbelief.She touched on something very important...something that a lot of writers (and readers) miss. Even the smallest of breaks for the silliest of reasons can ruin your story for your readers.Personally, I'm thinking that the little girl will probably end up like me some day, ranting about preserving the integrity of the story's world from meddling authors.
