hope.

'A national treasure' Daily Express To mark and celebrate National
Hedgehog Awareness Week, Pam Ayres has written a less-than-fond
farewell from perspective of the 'last hedgehog left on earth' - a
delightful, hilarious and thought-provoking elegy to that most
beloved inhabitant of the British countryside, the common hedgehog.
Pam Ayres' spiky and wonderful creation reminds us that unless we
take steps to prevent it, they will soon be far from 'common'
indeed: beautifully illustrated by Alice Tait, the poem The
Hedgehog sees our hero tell of all the terrible ends his family
come to at our own hands - and exactly what we can still do to keep
them alive, and see them thrive once more. 'The Last Hedgehog is a
little book, but it's an important book and it's a profound book'
