Part of the Hedgie series
A hedgehog's misadventure with a lost stocking leads to unexpected laughter and clever twists.
When Lisa's stocking flies off the line, Hedgie the hedgehog finds himself in a prickly predicament. As farm animals gather to mock his new 'hat,' Hedgie must outsmart them all. Meanwhile, Lisa, unaware of the chaos, prepares for winter until she notices her missing stocking. Will Hedgie's cleverness save the day, or will Lisa's search lead to a surprising discovery? Set against a snowy Scandinavian backdrop, this whimsical tale unfolds with humor and charm, inviting readers to join the fun and find out who truly has the last laugh.
When Lisa’s woolen stocking flies off the clothesline, Hedgie finds it and pokes his nose in. He tries to pull it out, but the stocking gets stuck on his prickles - and the fun begins. A mother hen comes by, then a noisy goose, a talkative barn cat, a playful farm dog, a mama pig and her piglets, and a pony. They all laugh at Hedgie, especially when he pretends he’s wearing a new hat. But in the end, it is clever Hedgie who has the last laugh. And where is Lisa when all of this is going on? She’s in the borders, getting ready for winter, until she realizes her stocking is missing and she enters the story to look for it.
