Hedgehog has been busy making gifts for all of her friends. But what could possibly be grand enough for her dear friend Bear?
Hedgehog wants to make cookie gifts for all of her friends. But when she gets to Bear's gift she wants it to be grand and special. When she finally comes up with the idea, she goes to work rolling, cutting and baking until she makes the most wonderful gift. A giant gingerbread house! But getting it to Bear's place in one piece is another task by itself.
This is a heartwarming holiday story that celebrates friendship and that the best gifts do not always need to be material things. Hedgehog put so much thought into the gift but when things didn't turn out as expected children will feel her disappointment. The illustrations are so sweet and full of expression. Even though things did not go exactly how Hedgehog planned, she has a happy ending anyway. The best gift of all is spending time together with a good friend. What a wonderful message learned after reading this charming story. It also includes a recipe for Hedgehogs gingerbread cookies and honey icing for kids to try. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-7.~
