We adore Hedgehogs in this house, we’re lucky to have a few that visit us when they are not hibernating. So I’m thrilled to offer today’s Blog Birthday Review and Giveaway – Hedgehugs.
This is a wonderful 30 page picture book written and illustrated by partners Lucy Tapper and Steve Wilson. We get to meet Horace and Hattie, hedgehogs who are the best of friends. Horace and Hattie do everything together. They really, really want to be able to have a good old-fashioned friendly hug. There is one, rather huge problem, their prickles!
We follow them through the seasons as they try to overcome this particular problem. What can they do to cover their prickles so they can have a hedgehug?
This is a wonderful story of friendship and we watch the hedgehogs try to solve their problem. Will they ever be able to have a hedgehug? You’ll have to buy the book yourself to find out. All I can say to you is odd socks!
We’ve really enjoyed reading Hedgehugs, it’s made Monkey giggle as we’ve followed their exploits. We can thoroughly recommend this book. We are so pleased, therefore, to be able to offer one lucky reader the chance to own this lovely book too! Complete the rafflecopter below – good luck!

I love squirrels, we get a lot of them where we are. Black, grey and sometimes red too 🙂
Squirrels – they are so cute!
Birds, the cats adore watching them.
love ladybirds as they are so pretty and can’t sting me!
Butterflies are a favorite and I planted plenty of flowers to encourage them
I love watching robins the garden
I like to watch birds and listening to their chirping. It’s very relaxing
foxes, it’s such a shame we are destroying their homes by building on the countryside 🙁
the robin, we dont see so many in our gardens now though
I love to see birds especially a spring dawn
The robin, then we know the days are getting longer and they brighten up the garden
deffo the hedgehog, for years we had a family of 2 large ones and some baby ones, they would come into our garden at 10.10pm on the dot every night (never a minute before or after!) and they would walk in single file in a straight row the exact same route around the garden.
they did this year after year,but sadly we haven’t seen them for the past 4 years.
Definitely badgers – they’re really quite stunning creatures and unfairly persecuted. We’re lucky enough to occasionally have some come and investigate the garden.
We love watching the birds in the garden and recently have been visited by a Jay, he’s beautiful to look at.
We have a Robin nest. Lovely little birds, very friendly too
