Bookroo's summary

Hedgie the hedgehog is determined to stay awake this winter to join his friends in snowy adventures. As he hears tales of icicles, snowmen, and icy ponds, the temptation is too great. But when a snowstorm hits, Hedgie's plan takes an unexpected turn. Rescued by Lisa, he discovers the magic of winter from the warmth of her home. Will Hedgie find the winter wonderland he imagined, or will he learn a new way to enjoy the season? Join Hedgie on a heartwarming journey through a winter filled with surprises.

From the publisher

When winter comes, Hedgie tries to stay awake so he doesn’t miss out on all the fun his friends are having.

Snow is on the way, and as Hedgie trundles around the farm all his friends tell him of the winter-time fun he will miss as he hibernates–Icicles decorating the chicken coop! Lisa making snowmen! The pond turned to slippery ice! It sounds so amazing, Hedgie decides to stay awake instead of going to his burrow. But then a snowstorm starts. Luckily, Lisa finds him and brings him inside so Hedgie gets to see the wonders of winter from inside the cozy house.
