Theodore the Hedgehog Finds a Friend

Discover the true spirit of friendship and acceptance in this charming tale of a tortoise and a hedgehog.

Theodore the hedgehog wants nothing more than to play with the other animals in the forest. But it's hard to make friends when you are covered in prickly spines that the other animals are scared of. Theodore is so lonely, he’s willing to do anything—even turn himself inside out, quite literally—to make the other animals like him. Soon he meets Sofia the tortoise, and with her help, he discovers that a true friend appreciates you for who you are—and that we all have a unique place in the world.
