Who is disrupting Little Hedgehog's Christmas get-together with his animal friends? The cookie ornaments keep disappearing, someone is snoring loudly, and Little Hedgehog's hat vanishes. Finally the group discovers they brought a squirrel in with the Christmas tree. The novelty of Little Hedgehog's "touch-and-feel" fuzzy hat will wear off, but bright illustrations add a convivial atmosphere to the otherwise pedestrian tale.
