Description

Rabbit's good friend, Hedgehog, sleeps all winter and wants Rabbit to save a little bit of winter for him to see. But forgetful Rabbit has a hard time finding food and eats some of the bark that Hedgehog's reminder was written on.

Quick Summary

Rabbit and Hedgehog's friendship shines when Hedgehog asks Rabbit to save a little bit of winter for him to enjoy once he wakes up from his long nap. The story is short enough for early readers and the mishap where Rabbit accidentally eats the bark that holds Hedgehog's reminder adds a light-hearted twist that kids find funny. It's a great pick for read-alouds or quiet reading time, especially for kids who love gentle animal tales with a touch of humor. If your child likes the simple, sweet friendship stories in Frog and Toad, they'll probably feel right at home with this one. Parents will appreciate the clear, easy-to-follow text and the subtle lesson about doing a favor for a friend, all without any scary or heavy content.
