A little hedgehog is sad because he cannot get anyone to hug him? It is so unfair. He asks around for a hug but the squirrels refuse, the kittens as well. He asks his mom why he had to be so prickly! Because of that, he cannot hug his mom the same way the other animals do. His mom shows him how brave and important hedgehogs have been throughout history. Then she tells him that hedgehogs do not hug but they have a soft tummy for tickles. The other animals can see and hear little hedgehog laughing and they want to know why they have hugs instead of tickles.

This cute book is based on the classic red riding hood tale but with a twist. The first story is about the pink riding hood. She does not fall for the wolf’s tricks neither does her grandma. The second story is about the yellow riding hood and she loves the sea. Instead of a big bad wolf, she has to face a big bad shark. Thankfully, with the help of her dad she does not become another victim of the shark. On the contrary, it looks like she might have shark steak on the barbecue.
