A plan to build a unique home takes a timid Hedgehog on an incredible journey of self-discovery. From meeting new friends to conquering countless obstacles, Hedgehog tackles his house plan with a newfound confidence. Best-selling creator Katy Hudson (Too Many Carrots and Mindful Mr. Sloth) combines her stunning, detailed artwork with themes of friendship, problem solving, and self-awareness in this empowering picture book.
I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
This was a cute story about a hedgehog who has decided to build himself a home out of a pumpkin. It's a pretty big undertaking, and he soon finds that he needs some help. He's nervous to talk to his neighbors and ask them for help, but he does it anyway, in spite of his concerns.
This would be a fun read around Halloween time, featuring a pumpkin and all, but it's also definitely appropriate for reading at any time of the year because it's not actually spooky...or even kid spooky. I appreciated the message that even when your nervous to talk to people, sometimes you have to do it anyway, and it's not actually as scary as it seems. The illustrations were colorful and bold.
Overall I give A Bold Pumpkin Plan 3.8693 out of 5 stars. - Katie
