Hedgehog is hogging the hedge and won't let the other animals live
there. In this humorous political allegory, he learns that it's not a
winning strategy.
Winter is coming, and the animals need homes. The worms move in with the
groundhogs. The possums share a burrow with the foxes. The birds and the
squirrels stay in the oak tree together. The hedgehog lives in the hedge
. . . all by himself. When other animals come looking for a place to
stay, he's NOT interested; it's HIS hedge and everyone else can STAY
OUT. He gets busy making signs, putting locks on his door and even
building a fence. All he cares about is keeping the other animals out .
. . but he's making a huge mistake.
Will the other animals find a home in time? Will Hedgehog learn his
lesson? Is this a terrific story? Read on to find out.
