Hedgehog's prickles are causing her problems in this comical tale with a birthday twistHedgehog has just finished building a snug winter nest, when a falling apple impales itself on her spines. Now she can't possibly fit into her fine new home. Her friends Squirrel, Pig, and Frog suggest strategies for getting rid of the apple, but Hedgehog only winds up with an ever larger collection of oddities on her back, including a stray greeting card. Finally, Pig suggests she squeeze through a hedge to rub everything off and although that only adds four blackberries to the mess, Goat meets her on the other side, mistakes the tangled objects for her birthday present, and eats them all, including the card.e
