The Night of the Hedgehog

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Chuck Groenink. The young narrator and Papa go outside on a summer night to observe a hedgehog and her family. The mother and her three babies emerge from the bushes, drink from a water dish, and finally venture through the “hog hole” the humans have carved for them. Serene, rhyming text and ethereal mixed-media illustrations capture the wonder in the special moment, as well as the loving relationship between father and child.
