Hedgehug: A Sharp Lesson in Love

40 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | December, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-196101-4 $9.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Pinto. Ready to find a sweetheart on Valentine's Day, a hedgehog goes looking for someone to hug. Unfortunately, the other animals reject him because his prickles make hugging painful. Then Hannah the armadillo, who's impervious to prickles, writes him a note, "I like your spikes," and he gets his hug at last. Textured illustrations in vivid colors complete this brief, amusing, adult-geared story.
