本書以輕巧幽默的方式，講述 Hedgehog 在冬天來臨前，一心只想占據整片樹籬，不願與任何動物共享。他忙著設立告示牌、加裝鎖頭、築起高高的圍籬，只為確保這裡只屬於自己。相較之下，其他動物彼此協助：蚯蚓和土撥鼠同住地底，負鼠與狐狸共用洞穴，鳥兒和松鼠一起待在橡樹上。大家都在努力找住處，只有 Hedgehog 把所有人拒之門外。然而，固守並沒有帶來真正的安心，反而讓他錯過了溫暖與支持。在冬天越來越近的時刻，他才逐漸明白，孤立無法帶來安全，共享反而能讓生活變得更好。以動物寓言呈現合作與共存的概念輕鬆有趣，適合親子共讀與討論讓孩子思考「保護自己」與「排斥他人」之間的差別Hedgehog is hogging the hedge and won't let the other animals live there.
