Hedgehug:
a sharp lesson in love
Created
and illustrated by Dan Pinto
Written by Benn Sutton
Hedgehug tells the story of
a hedgehog very excited about
the promise of Valentine's
Day. Certain he will
find love, he emerges from his
burrow expectantly and
enthusiastically ... perhaps a
little too
enthusiastically.
Hedgehug looks for love in all
the wrong places. Just
when all seems lost and the
hedghug completely defeated in
his Valentine's quest, the
unexpected happens.
HEDGEHUG is a delightful
Valentines book for children
and as well as for parents to
read aloud to their
children. The story is
both sad and happy, with a
delightful happy ending
twist. With words and
wonderful artwork, the reader
easily relates or gains
sympathy for the hedgehug.
HEDGEHUG is a wonderful
tale about the unexpected,
magical twist of love.
For those adult readers like
myself who love children's
books, HEDGEHUG is a must for
the Valentine's Day
collection... or any day
really because it captures so
well human experience.
While there is a wonderful
happy ending, HEDGEHUG also
captures some of the heartache
of love. HEDGEHUG would
make a wonderful gift for any
adult who has experienced a
disappointment in
romance. HEDGEHUG is
cute and endearing without
being sappy. Delightful!
