(4) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Mikko the hedgehog is satisfied with his quiet existence as a gardener, but his grandfather sends him out to learn about ambition and accomplishment. After meeting several animals who are unhappily striving for success, Mikko convinces his grandfather that he is a content and talented gardener. The humorous watercolors have more appeal than the gentle but moralizing story.
