"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.
