Book Synopsis

A sweet story about friendship and caring for each other. For everyone ages 4 years and up.

Piggy finds a baby hedgehog in the forest. He knows he has to help. So he takes the little one home and learns all about caring for it. But in his eagerness, Piggy forgets to take care of himself. Luckily, his friends are there for him.

Trade Review

"Caring for others is noble, but it can be exhausting. Now starring in his fifth book, Piggy finds a baby hedgehog in the forest. He picks it up gently and, unsure of its care, calls the veterinarian. Diligently complying with the vet’s advice, Piggy provides love, puts the little creature in a box with a blanket, and feeds it goat’s milk every three hours. Then Piggy feels tired (he isn’t shown in bed until after his charge is gone). But his friends worry enough to show up and help. Very soon—a day and a page later—the hedgehog sleeps through the night and feeds itself. Just a page more and the hedgehog is big, returning to the forest as Piggy wishes it luck. Sweet and subtle." -Kirkus Reviews
