"A beautifully crafted book about the joys of sharing a special moment, this will inspire in children an appreciation of nature." -School Library Journal
A dad and his daughter make a kind of everyday magic in this third cosy, calm and comforting picture book story from the creative team behind Mum, Me, and the Mulberry Tree and Grandpa Is Here!A father wakes his little girl, and together they tiptoe barefoot outside, stepping quietly into the cool nighttime garden. They patiently wait to see it - their snuffling, shuffling nocturnal visitor. And what a treat to see not just
one hedgehog, but a mama and her
three cute, little babies! They come for a little sip of water before they mosey onwards, down the hedgehog highway...
Based on the author's
childhood memories,
The Night of the Hedgehog is as tender and sweet
a father-daughter book as they come, and a story
sure to inspire a new generation of hedgehog spotters.
With a lulling
rhyming text and
adorable, detailed hedgehog images this is
an ideal bedtime read for parents and children to share together.
