[Caroline Herfindahl]

From 1982, when scratch and sniff was all the rage comes this old fashioned Christmas story featuring a hedgehog family. The hedgehog children set out with their sled to help father get the Christmas tree home but along the way they visit neighbors and collect all sorts of things to decorate their tree only to forget about dear old Dad. All is well though as they arrive back home to find him and the tree.
