Real hedgehog life
A hedgehog leads a line of tiny hoglets through tall grass and clover, and a cutaway view shows another curled up in a nest of leaves under a tree root, with a bare tree standing on the ground above.
Hedgehogs are small spiny mammals that search for beetles and worms after dark and roll into a prickly ball for protection. These pages show that real side of hedgehog life: a hedgehog sniffing across a lawn under a crescent moon, a line of tiny hoglets following through the clover, and a cutaway of the leaf nest where a hedgehog sleeps through winter.
Alongside them are storybook scenes, from a hedgehog reading by the fire to one splashing in rain boots or waving from a hot air balloon, and detailed designs for older colorists: a geometric mandala, a zentangle coat of spines and a repeating pattern.

Color the hibernation cutaway, then write a short note under it about where hedgehogs sleep in winter and what they need: a pile of dry leaves, a sheltered spot and quiet until spring.
On the zentangle or mandala page, pick one color family for the spines and another for the background, then use three shades of the spine color to make the prickly coat look layered.

Four pages follow real hedgehog behavior. One sniffs for beetles on a garden lawn at night under a crescent moon, another leads a line of tiny hoglets through clover, a cutaway shows one hibernating in a nest of leaves under a tree root, and one rolls into a tight spiky ball on moss beside another that stays uncurled.
