Book 4, "Ereth's Birthday"

"No one, not even his best friend, the deer mouse Poppy, remembers Ereth's birthday. At least that's what the old porcupine thinks. Determined to celebrate alone, he sets off into the forest to search for his own present. Maybe - jellied walrus warts - he'll find some delicious salt?"

"Along the way, Ereth comes upon an injured mother fox, who begs him to look after her children. When the fox dies, Ereth is suddently foster father to three boisterous young kits. He's even too busy to notice a vicious fisher, Marty, stalking him. Ereth's walk in the woods has become the adventure of a lifetine."
