Christmas: A Big Hedgehog and Little Hedgehog Adventure

Temporarily out of stock

Our favourite hedgehog duo is back, discovering new traditions in a joyful holiday story.

In their sixth adventure, Britta Teckentrup’s beloved hedgehogs step out of their winter den in search of the perfect Christmas tree.

What begins as an unadorned fir in the snowy forest, gradually transforms as friends from near and far add their own ornaments according to their varying traditions—stockings and cookies for Santa Claus, paper crowns and crackers, even a lucky pickle.

As the story unfolds, Teckentrup’s illustrations shift from quiet, wintry landscapes to colorful, radiant spreads filled with detail.

Each page offers children the fun of spotting new decorations, while adults will admire the subtle artistry that mirrors the hedgehogs’ widening view of the world.

The result is both a festive tale and a story of anticipation, wonder, and the shared spirit of the season, gently affirming that, while Christmas may be celebrated in many different ways, its heart is the same everywhere.
