Hedgehog loves his new bike. He wants his friend Harry to ride it! But Harry does not want to ride it. Does Harry not like the new bike?

It's fall, and Hedgehog notices that the air is cooler, and that the leaves are turning from green to red, orange, and yellow. He sees Badger, Squirrel, and Mouse carrying food and wonders where they're going with it. He can't find his friend Frog, who's hiding at the bottom of the pond for the winter. Then he sees Crane and Heron, who are flying south toward warmer weather, and his bug friends tell him that they're hiding underground for the winter....

Hedgehog wakes up needing a hug, but has trouble finding a friend who will get so close to his prickles.

Harry is worried when he discovers someone has given his best friend Hedgehog the exact same birthday gift he brought, but Hedgehog reassures his best pal that since he now has two airplanes he can race them with Harry.
