Hedgehog Haven: A Story of a British Hedgerow Community

Rating:
Summary: Also available with a read-along audio cassette
Review: The latest in the outstanding Soundprints "Wild Habitats" series of storybooks (each of which has been authenticated by environmental experts) Hedgehog Haven is a beautifully illustrated children's picturebook by author Deborah Dennard and artist Robert Hynes about the day in the life of an ordinary hedgehog. Unlike many children's books which anthropomorphize animals into cartoon-like figures who walk on two feet, talk, or have other human characteristics, Hedgehog Haven looks closely at a natural, insect-eating hedgehog in a typical hedgerow within Great Britain. The true-to-life bent of this hedgehog story makes it educational as well as entertaining, and the fine, full-color illustrations bring the exploits of a small mammal to glorious life. This enthusiastically recommended storybook for school and community library collections, and is also available with a read-along audio cassette and stuffed animal toy.
