Hedgehog has finished building a cozy nest for winter. Unfortunately, a ripe apple falls from the tree above and gets stuck in her spines, making it impossible for her to fit in her new digs. She has several friends to whom she can go for advice, but their instructions simply make her situation worse. She ends up with other bits and pieces stuck to her body in addition to the apple -- including nuts, a pear, a dried leaf, and some berries. Then she meets another animal that is able to ease her situation by eating everything stuck to her. Bright spreads reveal the harried hedgehog and her helpers. Blooming flowers and the summer green of the trees belie the fact that it's time to hibernate, but kids won't mind this anomaly.

Holly had a cat flap, but no cat. When one day a star fell out of the sky, she made a wish, and "CRASH". Tom arrived on her window sill. Tom was a scruffy cat with a crooked smile and Holly didn't want him - but Tom was determined to be her wish cat. About The Author: I love stories - especially those you can weave into further stories and daydream about. My mother told us about her happy childhood and about a naughty little fox who disobeyed his mum and became lost. We begged her to tell us that story again and again, and each time we sighed with relief when the naughty little fox was safely back in his mother's arms. But it was my father who read to us during the long, dark winter evenings. Stories from the Arabian Nights with its 1001 tales of Sinbad the Sailor, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp. These were stories to make you shiver and dream, as were Grimm's Fairy Tales with their wicked stepmothers and brave children, and Hans Christian Andersen's often sad, but always triumphant, stories and songs. They stimulated my already fertile imagination and made me long to become a writer myself. Denmark is a beautiful small country, full of happy people but, like the Vikings, I was restless to see what lay beyond. As soon as I had finished my education, I travelled across to England and have loved this country ever since. I now live here permanently with my lovely extended family, and my husband, my son and my grandson. For years, we lived in the depth of the Kentish countryside, where I worked as a freelance translator, and it was here that I started writing picture books about the animals I saw all around me. These stories have been beautifully illustrated by some very talented artists. --from the author's website
