About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child spots a prickly visitor in the garden or shows a sudden fascination with tiny forest creatures. This introductory guide serves as a gentle bridge between a child's natural wonder and factual scientific discovery. Through clear, vibrant photography and accessible language, the book explores the daily lives of hedgehogs, from their unique physical features to their nocturnal habits. It is an ideal choice for the preschool or early elementary transition, where children are moving from identifying animals to wanting to understand how they live and thrive in the wild. Parents will appreciate how it fosters empathy for small creatures while building a foundational vocabulary for future science learning.
