From birthdays to remembering games, from hibernation to wishes come true, Rabbit and Hedgehog's wonderful adventures have been brought together for the very first time in this exquisitely bound treasury. Filled with true friendship and adventure, these are tales to be enjoyed again or for the very first time.

It is Fuzzypeg's birthday. His mother tells him that now he is older, he is allowed out on his own, but he must be careful. When Fuzzypeg does not return home, the animals know that he must be in trouble so they all work together to save him.

'Let's play remembering,' says Hedgehog. But Rabbit isn't very keen - 'You know what always happens,' he says. And sure enough the friends remember events entirely differently, whether it be an acorn rolling competition or crossing a stream ('You fell in!' says Hedgehog. 'I was picking up a water snail,' says Rabbit. 'I dropped it when you grabbed me.')
