US Backcard Story

Shadow was searching for lollipops when he discovered a 4-leaf clover. "Hold me up to the sun and make a wish," the clover urged. "I wish for my own pollipop latch - I mean lollipop patch," Shadow laughed, correcting his silly words. The clover flew into the meadow, followed by beams of sunlight singing a sweet melody. Each time they sang a verse, a new flavor of lollipops popped up. "When you accidentally say a silly sentence, lollipops will grow in your garden. Your sweet tooth will remind you to pick them," the clover explained. Shadow could hardly wait to tell his friends about his wish come true.

UK Backcard Story

Shadow is always searching for lollipops to satisfy his sweet tooth. On his birthday the hamsters bring him lollipoo treats in his favourite raspberry and lemon flavours. Often he gets so sticky from eating lollipops that he takes a raindrop shower.

UK Fact File Story

When Shadow found a four-leaf clover he wished for a 'pollipop latch'. Now, whenever he gets his words muddled, lollipops pop up. Of course, the baby hamsters love Shadow's muddled words.
