Boar and Hedgehog is a tale where Boar is grumpy, and Hedgehog is a know-it-all. Could they ever be friends? From an outstanding team comes a classic story of unexpected camaraderie, told with wit and disarming sweetness.

All the animals say Boar is cranky. He does live in a dark cave—that matches his mood just fine. But annoying Hedgehog keeps offering suggestions for nicer spots, near the riverbank, for example. Hedgehog probably wants to be helpful, but he comes across as a busybody.

When Hedgehog gets stuck in a hole and calls for help, who might come assist him? Well, Boar might. If they were friends. But are they?

This captivating and funny story of two characters who find unlikely companionship together is brought to vibrant life by Eugene Yelchin’s superb illustrations.
