Prickly Hedgehog Mini Brd

A charming companion to The Sleepy Doormouse (1994), this sweet-natured has a cozy familiarity that will surely engage. One fine fall day, Little Hedgehog ventures out with his mother and "four prickly brothers and sisters." His short little legs soon tire and he falls behind. A series of quietly suspenseful adventures follows as he searches for his family. After some interesting encounters and one close call, he finds them, and the reunited family makes a delicious meal of the "feast of food" - mushrooms and chestnuts - that are stuck to the prickly quills on his back. Ali's well that ends well - even the most antsy preschooler will be content with the satisfying conclusion. A handsome design, well-placed text, and carefully rendered, delicately detailed watercolor paintings star here. Come autumn, this reassuring, old-fashioned fare will be just right for sharing over cups of hot cider. (Kirkus Reviews) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
