Hedgehog Howdedo

...this book rollicks along, rhyming and counting, with pictures crammed with hedgehogs (spot the cat on most pages) all hibernating away while a little girl ponders the impending traffic jam in spring.

Dinah, Children's book review

This gem of a book has everything we have come to expect from a Lynley Dodd book. It will bring adults back to their childhoods and introduce young readers to the delights of Lynley Dodd’s brilliant story-telling. The text is sparse and perfectly targeted for the young reader. It contains her playful alliteration and parcels everything up in lilting melody. There is also her whimsical imagination – have you ever heard of a pizza plant before or dreamed about the noise of windywhistle grass? ...The illustrations and gentle pace will lull young readers into a peaceful slumber with a smile on their face.

Sara Croft, The Reader

A board book just for little hands, Hedgehog Howdedo is a delightful wee read in rhyme.

Colleen Thorpe, Hawke's Bay Today

A very sweet book about hedgehogs. It includes counting in ones up to eight and talks briefly about seasons (winter and spring). The book also makes reference to the fact that some animals, in this case hedgehogs, hibernate during winter.

Harriet Jane Mitchell, Good Reads

Great book for children learning to count.

Cai, Good Reads

A cute counting book with hedgehogs in their garden habitat.

Julie, Good Reads

Children can count with their fingers from one to eight as you page through this cumulative story, finding hibernating hedgehogs all over the countryside.

Loved this book . . . One of our favourites for bedtime stories.
