Hedgehugs
Written by Steve Wilson
Illustrated by Lucy Tapper

Horace and Hattie are hedgehogs, and the very best of friends. Together, they make daisy chains, splash in puddles, and have tea parties. But there is one thing they can’t do—hug! They are just too spiky. Throughout the seasons, these two hedgehogs will try many different ways of hugging. But will Horace and Hattie find a hug that feels just right?

Knight out of Fairy

This adorably cute book about two hedgehogs and their mission to have the perfect hug, despite their quills, is a must have. Many nights has my daughter enjoyed reading this book. The flow and rhythm of the narrative has my 6 month old excited every time I get to certain parts. (It helps that mommy makes fun voices to match the story)
