The Very Helpful Hedgehog by Rosie Wellesley
Isaac the hedgehog lived a quiet life under a tree. “He never helped anyone and no one ever helped him. He liked it that way.”
But then, “THUD!” Something lands on his back. As he is a hedgehog, it gets stuck to his spines. He tries to see it, but can’t. How will he get it off? And what is it?
Why, it must be an apple. After all, he is under an apple tree. But he just – can’t – get – it – off. He gets so upset that he starts to cry, until- “crunch“. A donkey who loves nothing better than a tasty apple, takes a bite.
Could this be a new friend? Does Isaac even want a friend?
A sweet celebration of apples and community.
