I know about the string of bank robberies by Hedgehogs in California and General "Burnin’ " Sherman’s use of Hedgehogs in Georgia during the war. But what is Pennsylvania’s hang up?

Kobayashi Kiyochika’s 1879 “Picture of Hedgezilla Preparing to Attack Shin Ohashi Bridge” is fascinating both as a later masterful example of ukiyo-e print making, and a noteworthy early representation of MechaHedgezilla.

Fact: A recent poll of hedgehogs found that they do not blame President Kennedy for the decline of hats, but they will do their best to bring them back into fashion.
The traditional Chinese motif of a moonlit hedgehog crawling on a branch is rendered magnificently here.

Hedgehog Art Through The Ages - a review with a hedgehog spokesmodel.
We begin with the front cover, which is nicely illustrative of the nature of the contents.
The cover also serves as a convenient teacup holder/coaster.
The back cover is both attractive and helpfully illustrative of the contents of the book as well, with hedgehog-scale photos of some highlights of the contents, and a general feel of an actual book, which it is.
Interior illustrations include write-ups full of witty, delightful flowing prose.
The interior takes the reader through many periods of art history, all of which are wonderful, delightful, and fascinating.
The book treats Modern art in all its weirdness.
The cover/binding are designed for safety with pets, even when presenting Modern art.
This book includes an extensive and delightful section on Japanese hedgehog art, with a fascinating and delightful look at Hedgezilla.
This book is also suitable as a playscape for smaller pets.
