Hedgehog and Tortoise are old and dear friends but, when Tortoise falls flat on his back and gets stuck there, Hedgehog doesn’t know how to help him. All the friends come up with ideas that might be helpful to Hedgehog but what works for them just doesn’t work at all. Luckily, Owl is on hand with wise words of advice.
An excellent book for developing understanding and exploring feelings.
There were so many things that Tortoise wanted to do. So many games to play and rocks to climb. Oops. Tortoise was stuck. Being stuck made Tortoise cross. Tortoise is not having a good day and now he's stuck in a hole and and is far too cross for hugs. Hedgehog sits and waits and then makes Tortoise laugh - taking the time to let the moment pass, and acknowledge how Tortoise feels.
