Reviews
There once was a hedgehog named Sam. When you are little hedgehog, even a few weeks old, you must find your own place to live. Little Sam set off to find his.
Sam was happy. Soon he found a wonderful place to live.
It was almost perfect, except . . .
"The charming traditional illustrations with the cheeky woodland creatures making witty remarks will bring a smile to anyone's face. It is a perfect story to share with younger children at home and at school and to give to slightly older children to read independently as they seek reassurance." - School Library Journal
