The Lazy Hedgehog (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783982778013)

Meet Harry Hedgehog - the cheekiest creature in the garden. He'd rather lounge on a sun bed by the pond, and snack on dogfood than hunt for proper food, until one sunny day when everything goes topsy-turvy! Poor Harry is dumped in a field far away from his beloved garden and all his friends. Harry has to overcome his fears and laziness and learn to be brave and stand on his own two feet. Will Harry ever find his way home?

At last, the sun set, and the crickets purred,

and Harry felt braver as the night creatures stirred.

Harry foraged and hunted under the starry skies,

and as dawn broke, he closed his eyes.
