Night of the Hedgehog, The (Jun)

Based on the author's own childhood memories, The Night of the Hedgehog is as tender and sweet a father-daughter book as you can get and will hopefully inspire a whole new generation of keen hedgehog spotters.

A little girl is woken up by her father and, together, they tip-toe bare foot outside, stepping into the cool night-time garden. They wait to see it – their snuffling, shuffling nocturnal visitor. And what a treat to behold not just ONE hedgehog, but a mummy and her three adorable little, prickly babies, coming for a little sip of water before they mosey onwards, down the hedgehog highway.
