When Spiky loses his spikes, he must learn to share his softer side.
Spiky lives in the dark of the forest, where he spends his days being very, very bad, bullying the other forest creatures and sharpening the spikes on his body. Those spikes are handy for keeping everybody at a distance, and that's just how Spiky likes it But then one day the unthinkable happens: Spiky starts losing his spikes Soon he is left looking as soft and as pink as a soft, pink marshmallow. What will Spiky do, now that he can no longer scare away the other forest creatures? Will he have to (gulp ) make friends? It's a good thing Bernardo the bunny comes along to show him how it's done.
First published in Italy, this charming story of friendship will have children giggling until the very end.
