This is a charming picture book designed to teach children about taking better care of the environment . The book is colourful and eye-catching, with cute illustrations of animals. The story is told in rhyming sentences, and the message is clear. It explains the dangers of plastic bags and how they can be harmful to animals and to the environment. I think this is a lovely book to read to or with children.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.

A wonderful children's picture book that skillfully addresses the issue of littering in a playful and humorous way. When a careless tourist discards a garbage bag that ends up on Grandpa Hedgehog's spiky quills, the story takes an unexpected turn filled with comical encounters. What I enjoyed most about this book is its ability to convey an important message about environmental responsibility while keeping young readers entertained. The illustrations and the lovable character of Grandpa Hedgehog make this a charming and educational read. The book's clever approach to turning a mishap into a spiky adventure not only captivates the imagination but also imparts a valuable lesson about the impact of human actions on the world around us.

Hold onto your quills, kiddos! Grandpa Hedgehog And The Big Black Bag is not your average bedtime story; it's a spiky adventure that'll have you rolling with laughter and rooting for Grandpa like never before. Picture this: a careless tourist, a rubbish bag, and Grandpa Hedgehog caught in the middle of a hilarious mess. Is it lawful to smell so awful? Well, Grandpa is about to find out! This book isn't just about teaching kids not to litter; it's a wild ride through unexpected twists, comical encounters, and the coolest hedgehog grandpa you'll ever meet. Why should you read it? Because Grandpa Hedgehog is not just a character; he's a spiky superhero fighting the forces of littering, and you don't want to miss a second of his uproarious journey. So, grab your spiky capes, your giggles, and get ready for a rollicking adventure with Grandpa Hedgehog!

Cute story about the impacts of pollution/littering on wildlife and how it affects the animals.

This is a delightful story that teaches children, and hopefully, some adults to not litter and to respect the forests and woods where animals live. The illustrations were adorable. I love that at the end there is a letter from Mr. Owl about keeping the outdoors clean.

A car drives through the jungle and a big black bag gets thrown out of the car and the bag gets stuck on Grandpa Hedgehog. The animals help to get the bag off his needles. One of the animals is a boy deer with underwear stuck to his antlers. By holding on to the underwear on the antlers, Grandpa Hedgehog is free of the bag but flung in the air and lands in the water where a red ball gets stuck to his needles.
The book is a 32 page story for children. The story had a wonderful message to children and adults teaching them not to litter and to respect the animals homes like we respect ours. The garbage litters animals homes, making them dirtier and more dangerous for animals because they get trapped in the garbage , swallow plastic or harm animals in other ways.
