When Lisa hangs her woolen clothes in the sun to air them out for winter,the hedgehog, to the amusement of the other animals, ends up wearing a stocking on his head.

Hedgehug wants to find someone to love on Valentine's Day, but everyone he meets is too scared of his prickly coat to hug him.

When a wintry wind blows away Little Hedgehog's nest, he sets out for Badger's house, and the generosity he shows to others along the way is returned to him when the snowstorm is over, with scarves, hats, and gloves young readers can touch.

"Hedgehog is waiting for his friend Tortoise to wake up. But where is he and when will he wake? Hedgehog's friends are all very lovely, but they just aren't as much fun at the beach, or at hide and seek, or at holding hands, or at hugs. Tortoise begins to stir - the one boulder that Hedgehog didn't think he could lift to turn . . . Tortoise has been dreaming of Hedgehog. And the hug that follows is their best yet!"--
