It’s fall, and Hedgehog notices that the air is cooler, and that the leaves are turning from green to red, orange, and yellow. He sees Badger, Squirrel, and Mouse carrying food and wonders where they’re going with it. He can’t find his friend Frog, who’s hiding at the bottom of the pond for the winter. Then he sees Crane and Heron, who are flying south toward warmer weather, and his bug friends tell him that they’re hiding underground for the winter. Even Bear has already gone into his den to sleep. But there are some animals who haven’t gone away, too—Hedgehog sees Fox, Hare, Beaver and the cardinals. Hedgehog learns that each animal has its own way of taking care during the winter—and soon, it’s time for Hedgehog to go home and take his winter nap, too! Includes sweet, detailed illustrations that are full of humorous details; fun facts about fall; and a fun activity.
