Review: Wonderful book!!! - Liked the illustrations and sneak-peek visual messages in the borders. The content messages were all important including: noticing then helping another in distress (awareness) Finding a clever and resourceful way to solve thievery. Happy ending of new friendship and joy of new life. I loved this book and bought 3 of them for children in my life.
Review: A Kid's Review - My mom has collected a big library for us over the years, and some of my favorite authors for children's books are Jan Brett, Patricia Polacco, Bill Peet, Chris van Dusen, and Kevin Henkes. Hedgie's Surprise is my favorite book that Jan Brett wrote, and I think it should get a blue ribbon. It has sophisticated language: "Don't worry, Henny," Hedgie told her. "Now, it's time for my surprise." The book has memorable characters and is a great story. That's why it's re-readable. Jan Brett's art is unique and unlike anyone else's. Her books have little pictures on each side of each spread with what looks like tapestries around them. The story is about a hen who doesn't want the tomten to take her eggs and a little hedgehog who tries to help her. He succeeds! At first the author makes you a little worried that the hen might lose all her eggs, but it turns out alright in the end. This is a book I think you should have in your library at home.
