As Hedgie is headed toward its den for winter hibernation, all of the animals keeping telling it about the wonders of winter. The little girl takes pity on the hedgehog and it does stay awake to see some of the sights of the season – but finally it succumbs to its winter-long nap – leaving the animals to surprise the little girl!
At first I felt bad for Hedgie, because I couldn’t understand what the animals were doing. Brett, of course, was using her masterful pacing to pull me right into the story they way she wanted. So very adorable.
