Such a fun read. The storyline and audio production were engaging and well done. The story follows Jacques, a little hedgehog with a big secret. You see Jacques wears underwear and is afraid that when the other hedgehogs find out, they will make fun of him. This book has a great message about staying true to oneself, being brave and having the courage to stand in your truthiness while also exploring the differences that makes us unique and bounds us. The narration on this was amazing. Tim Campbell did an amazing job narrating these characters. The kiddos loved the French accent, and we listened to this audio multiple times. They absolutely loved this story. One of their favorite lines was "Under who? Is that like a hat for your butt? They seem to crack up at this line. This book was funny, clever, easy to follow, engaging and had a great plot that was executed brilliantly. This is a great book for young kids.

A cute story narrated in a French accent to show readers that it's okay to be a little different. And when you put yourself out there you'll find that you're not so different after all.

My 5 year old daughter absolutely loves how silly this story is and the narrator made it such a fun listen! The fact that it teaches a lesson made it that much better!

this was such a cute little read my 5 year old son loved it . !! we have listened to it more then once ! Great job

I listened to this book on audio and it was super cute! The narrator had a French accent, was animated and engaging. The story line is adorable and a fun way to show kids to be themselves and be open to sharing their uniqueness. Highly recommend for the younger kiddos!

Thank you to NetGalley and McMillan Audio for an Advanced Listener Copy of this adorable book!

A playful book that will capture young readers with it's storytelling. A story about courage and friendship, it will keep little ones entertained while teaching acceptance. A charming story that invokes laughter and curiosity, I tested the audible on two little brothers, 5 & 7. They both enjoyed it and requested to hear it over again multiple times. I plan to add to my library upon its release.
Thank you NewGalley for the opportunity to listen to this as an audible for my honest review.

I received a copy of this audiobook from netGalley for a honest review.

What a cute little story about being different and the fears that brings up. The hedgehog is French and has the cutest little accent! I'm not sure of all the French words but it was fun and funny to listen to.

This was a very cute and silly story about being true to yourself.

I thought the narrator did a wonderful job with the hedgehogs' french accents.

Story 3.5/5
Audio 5/5
Cuteness 4/5
overall 4/5

This comes out 3/31/25
I will be referring this audio to my library.
If you are wondering what are somethings that my child can listen to without turning on the tv this should be your next listen.

Jacques loves wearing his underwear. He feels like he is more supported and satisfied with them. The problem with him loving to wear his underwear was that he was nervous that the other hedgehogs would make fun of him.
This was a cute and fun story. The audio was fantastic, the Narrator did such a good job. Kids would have fun listening to this book while playing. This is a fun way to have something in the background without turning on the TV.
I do feel like this book is more for older kids who understand the point of underwear. I say this because the book is meant to be silly and my two-year-old thought the voice was entertaining but did not understand the jokes.
The target audience for this book would be 4 and 5-year-olds.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author/publisher for a copy of this audiobook.

The narrator was fantastic and I just know kids would love listening to this story. The characters were cute and the message behind it was great for a children's book. Overall a very cute book for school age students.

Oh man we wanted to like this one and the narrator was great but it was going nowhere. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. Thought it would have more jokes and not be completely just about underwear

Hedgehogs Don't Wear Underwear
by Marissa Valdez
Narrated by Tim Campbell

Hedgehogs Don't Wear Underwear is a delightful story about Jacques, the Hedgehog. Jacques has a secret. He wears underwear. He's afraid that the others will make fun of him if they find out that he wears underwear because, let's face it, hedgehogs don't wear underwear. Once Jacques allows his secret to come out, he finds acceptance and comes to realize that everyone has their own unique things that they like, just like Jacques. Jacques finds acceptance with the other hedgehogs.

What was really cute about this story was that my kids listened and understood the message that the author was conveying. We discussed the book and how Jacques felt, and it was a good "reading is learning" moment. The narration was well done and brought Jacques and the other characters to life. Thanks you to NetGalley, the author and Macmillan Audio for the chance to listen to and review this delightful ARC!

This is a very cute story about a little hedgehog who stands out from the rest. Kids will love the silly story, and the narrator did a great job of bringing enthusiasm and life to the book. For me, however, this book was not easily followed in audiobook, and when I am able to read the print version, I have a feeling that the audio will not do it justice. It's an adorable story, it was just a bit hard to follow for me. Looking forward to the release of the print version to share with my library kids!

Thank you to Macmillan Audio | Macmillan Young Listeners and NetGalley for the advanced eaudiobook of this title!

I loved the way the narrator added a French accent to his voice while narrating and the French music playing in the background. The story was clearly spoken and had lots of emotion behind the words when needed. The story itself was very cute with a great message about being yourself.

The story was cute, it helps kids who feel like they might not fit in for their choices or preferences, and the accents make it fun and keep children’s attention.

Fantastic narration and great message! A short and charming listen, I shared it with my son one morning on a drive to PreK and he laughed a lot. We talked about how it's fun to be yourself and be comfortable in who you are.
Thank you for a fun read with my son!

My family only had the audiobook for this review. We wish we had the actual illustrated book!!! My kids giggled the whole way through. And it was a quick read. I think early readers will do well with this.

This book was so fun! We meet a hedgehog who loves wearing underwear and he finally feels brave enough to share this with his friends! Little does he know he’s about to learn all of the fun things his friends love too!

The narration was fantastic, and the production was spot on!

This was a cute, fun little audiobook. My son thought the hedgehog wearing underwear was so funny. The narration was fantastic and the audiobook has a sweet message for young children. I definitely recommend listening to this adorable audiobook!

This was such a cute audiobook! The acting/voices were so good! I think this would be great to go along with a hardcopy of the book so little ones could see the pictures while they listen.

Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillon Audio for the arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
