Description: Norman is a hedgehog that lives on the Andersson farm in rural Sweden. After being forced out of his burrow due to construction, he decides to travel to Texas to see what he can see. When he arrives, he makes an unlikely new friend in the form of a bull shark named Shark. After exploring Corpus Christi, Shark pleads with Norman to find a way to bring him along on Norman's further explorations of Texas, which Norman gladly does.
