This is a fun story about a hedgehog who wants to stay awake so he doesn‘t miss out on anything. The story includes talking animals as characters and incorporates themes of winter activities and animal life. The hedgehog is hibernating, but doesn‘t want to miss the winter activities his friends are doing.
I really enjoyed how the hedgehog was able to experience some of winter and see what snow looked like before he hibernated. All because the little girl took him inside! It shows appreciation to the beauty of the winter season
