Hedgehog's Winter, hard cover

As soon as winter arrives, Hedgehog is excited. He wishes he could build a snowman, skate on the ice, and sled down the hill.

But his friends, Bear, Raccoon, and Chipmunk, don’t want to play. They are ready to hibernate.

So, Hedgehog puts on his hat, his coat, and his mittens and tries to find someone to have a winter adventure with him. As he skates on the frozen pond, he wonders what a falling snowflake tastes like. Then, Deer arrives and helps him build a snowman and find a piece of bark for a sled.

After sledding, Hedgehog and Deer share some leftover berries. But Hedgehog’s eyes are growing sleepy. But he still doesn’t know what a falling snowflake tastes like. As he walks toward his warm burrow, he catches a snowflake on his tongue and says, “Snowflakes taste like winter!” 

He happily curls up in his burrow and goes to sleep thinking about his winter adventure.
