The Special Blankie

When Little Hedgehog's cousin, Baby Hedgehog, comes to visit, they go on a special day out. But then baby Hedgehog loses his favorite blankie, and the day turns into a very big adventure!

Publishers Weekly

Previously seen in One Winter's Day and One Snowy Night, Little Hedgehog looks after his baby cousin, at his mother's request, in this fair-weather outing. Little Hedgehog takes Baby Hedgehog—who carries a red blankie with a velveteen texture—to hunt for bluebells in the airy green fields. The blanket is the cause of some unexpected commotion, but in the end, it saves the day. Though readers might wish for more resolution (Little Hedgehog's mother never reappears) the lighthearted conundrums are engaging. Ages 2-6. (Apr.)
