Big Hedgehog and Little Hedgehog: The Birthday

A new hedgehog story – volume 5 of the successful series by Britta Teckentrup

It’s the little hedgehog’s birthday. His friends organise a surprise party – of course, the little hedgehog doesn’t know about it and thinks everyone has forgotten him. And so, on this important day, he experiences a wide range of emotions: from utter despair to the happiest day of his life.

A very heart-warming book with depth, which makes it easy to talk about the high expectations and very intense feelings a child can have before and on their birthday.
