Hedgehug's Halloween

32 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | August, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-196104-5 $9.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Pinto. Hedgehug the hedgehog inadvertently destroys every Halloween costume he attempts to wear. What isn't clear to the reader until book's end--when a self-satisfied Hedgehug ingeniously wears green, which, combined with his quills, makes him resemble a cactus--is that his spikes were what wrecked his earlier costumes; Pinto doesn't make the quills visible in the otherwise satisfying, textured illustrations.
