What can you do when you are a tiny hedgehog,
and your parents keep telling you to roll into a ball
and defend your life with your spikes?
Constantly having to hide from danger
leaves you with no fun and no friends. Or does it?
Hank Hedgehog lives in a beautiful forest
surrounded with all sorts of animals,
both dangerous and friendly.
His loving parents try to protect him from harm,
perhaps a bit too much.
Eventually, Hank starts hating his spikes
and becomes very lonely.
However, all good families have problems -
once they talk them out, and
with a little bit of help from their friends,
the world can be wonderful, fun and exciting!
