From Kirkus: "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."

In this cute story you get to follow a hedgehog around in the wild. During the story you find out cool and interesting facts about how they live in the wild along with where they live in the world.

Readers will learn plenty about hedgehogs: where they live, what they eat, how they hibernate. The mixed media illustrations are appealing, and on every page spread there are two fonts: a bigger one for younger readers, and a smaller one for more advanced readers to get extra information.

Back matter includes more information about hedgehogs, an index, and three sources for additional information (one book and two websites).

This cute little story is about the life of a hedgehog. It has lots of facts on a hedgehog's life. This can be a great introduction to teach kids about the process of hibernating and the animals that we really do not pay attention to.
