But one little hedgehog just couldn't go to sleep. Every time Hoglet closed his eyes, he kept thinking about Rabbit's Super Special Secret ...
A baby hedgehog decides that he doesn't want to hibernate, and goes searching for Christmas magic in the world of humans. A perfect bedtime story for animal lovers.
I love O'Brien's picture books. They're always so sweet, with lovely pictures and a nice story. This one is no different. The excited little hedgehog wants to see Christmas, and he travels around the country, experiencing festivals in different parts of the country. His final decision, which I won't spoil her, is lovely and tops things off wonderfully.
The illustrations are lovely, soft and gentle while still being true to life. The hedgehog visits various places around the country like Tara, which is great for children to look at, and he meets different wild animals as well, showcasing some of Ireland's beautiful wildlife.
All in all a really gorgeous book. I can't wait to share it with my nieces.
