Books with title THE HEDGEHOG

‘No more adventures for me,’ said Heed, the hedgehog as she relaxed in her new home in the woods. The legendary porcupines of The Furrow were in her vicinity. Although surly and unfriendly, they did not threaten her peace. But when an old friend from The Furrow turned up, Heed got her first inkling of trouble. Hunter wanted to be the true successor of her father, Old Bubo, and lead the owl tribe. She was confident that she could meet any challenge set by the tribe. However, her father chose a task that was almost impossible – the hedgehog challenge.

You can also be an animal detective and find out how you can tell if a hedgehog has been in your neighbourhood. This book also includes an animal map, locator map, life cycle summary, and unusual fact boxes.

So that's just what Mikko does.
