Blog Tour ~ Our Friend Hedgehog by Lauren Castillo ~ Excerpt + Giveaway
Good morning all!
A cute and adventurous welcome to the Blog Tour for Our Friend Hedgehog by Lauren Castillo. This book sounds so much fun and I can’t wait to read it.
For today’s post I got information on the book/author, a page from the book (I wish I could have a bigger resolution, but this is what I got, I hope it is readable at least), and a giveaway (US only).
Let’s get started on this tour!
From a Caldecott Honor-winning artist comes a cozy classic-in-the-making about finding your friends and sticking together through thick and thin.
“Our Friend Hedgehog feels like a modern-day Winnie the Pooh . It’s so warm and full of joy and love. It’s got classic written all over it.” –Victoria Jamieson, Newbery Honor-winning author of Roller GirlSometimes you make a friend,
and it feels like you have known that friend your entire life. . . .Hedgehog lives on a teeny-tiny island with only her stuffed dog, Mutty, for company. When a great storm carries Mutty away, she embarks on a quest to find her friend. Following the trail of clues Mutty left behind, brave Hedgehog meets a wiggly Mole, a wordy Owl, a curmudgeonly Beaver, a scatterbrained Hen and Chicks, and a girl who’s new to the neighborhood, Annika May. With bravery and teamwork, there’s nothing that can stop these seven from finding Mutty, but along the way they discover something even more important: each other.
The first book in a new series from Caldecott Honor winner Lauren Castillo, Our Friend Hedgehog: The Story of Us has the feel of a timeless classic, introducing an unforgettable cast of characters who will star in many more adventures to come.
