Pictures in this hedgehog book are similar to Charlotte's Web and the Mercy Watson series are characterized and painted in full-color, though the pages are set up like a chapter book. They shine in the sweetness of a hedgehog, but also include the fact that hedgehogs have spines, and these are for good reason.
Darling's adventure helps to train children in natural wisdom and stranger analysis. It helps to balance teachings about accepting everyone and friendliness to all. There may be good purposes for everyone to exist under heaven, yet all purposes may not be good for a child. Beware, and flee from crafty foxes especially when they are holding your parents in the pantry!
What is true about foxes and hedgehogs, as shown in this story, is that foxes cannot eat hedgehogs because of the quills on a hedgehog's back, so there are some natural defenses to even out the playing field.
