Caught unprepared by a chilly wind, Little Hedgehog sets out to remedy his situation.

He has plenty of friends -- and an unexpected Christmas gift -- but lost and alone, he tries to warm up in a snowbank.

Imagination saves him and warms him and brings him back to his circle of friends -- and then Christmas is complete. Jewel-like colors, animals with unmistakable character, and a flocked woolly hat, perfect for stroking, will bring young readers back to this book.

M. Christina Butler is a Good Books author.
