My little granddaughter is getting into the hedgehog spirit. The last time I saw her, she was very excited to give me a gift. It was this cuddly little hedgehog in a box with instructions on how to hug him. The book that came with him has illustrations and facts about hedgehogs. She chose the name Hamlet for the little guy. The How to Hug a Hedgehog kit came from Peter Pauper Press, and was designed and illustrated by David Cole Wheeler with text by Talia Levy.
My sister-in-law found these cute hedgehog socks while we were visiting with them and some friends in St. Charles, MO. It's such a beautiful city, especially in the fall. It's very near St. Louis and is full of history, shopping, and fun!
October is my birthday month, therefore more hedgehogs sneak into my collection. Sometimes they come in a bag like the one above. Other times they come through the mail, like this bright and cheery fall hanging ornament from my special hedgehog friend. I have some more delightful gifts I will post in a few days.
