I somehow got this in audio which was so hilarious I need to find it to see the illustration to go with it. This would have my kids rolling laughing and giggling through. So funny.

The narrator makes this book! This is a perfect way to introduce kids to audiobooks since the narrator brings the character such personality. The expressions in the audio will truly enhance a funny story. And of course all kids love any book that discusses underwear-and a hedgehog will add to the excitement! Great message about individualism and self confidence.

Hedgehogs don't wear underwear was an adorable and hysterical book. My daughter absolutely giggled with the French accents of the narrator. It fit perfectly with the story and the French words that were in the book. All of the additional sounds made the story entertaining, that you enjoyed the story even without pictures and could visualize it. We listened to it a few times, just because it was so fun! Great story and fun message about not being afraid to be yourself around your friends or those that you trust.

I laughed the entire time I was listening! Thanks for the audio ARC! Great narration, incredible background music and sound effects -- silly content. Very interested to read as well to see how photos add to this! I'm still laughing this was a great listen.

🦔✨ Hedgehogs Don’t Wear Underwear by Marisa Valdez is an absolutely delightful read with an important message—don’t be afraid to be yourself! 💛

With adorable illustrations and a hilarious premise, this book is perfect for little readers learning to embrace who they are. And the audiobook? Pure perfection—because of course, hedgehogs have a French accent! 🇫🇷🎧 Tim Campbell’s narration brings this charming story to life in the best way.

Thank you to the author, Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the chance to listen to this story in exchange for an honest review.

This audiobook is adorable! I can only imagine how much cuter it will be with illustrations!

The accent is perfect and added a lot to the story. I could see playing the audiobook while showing the illustrations but just listening to it takes a bit of the magic out of a funny picture book.

Nonetheless, this is a great audio book that allows visualization from kiddos.

I am for sure going to add the picture book to my library.

Thank you to Net Galley, MacMillan Audio, and MacMillan Young Listeners for the ALC. All opinions are my own.

This was an excellent audio production of a silly book with heart. The message is important: be yourself and others will do the same around you. This audiobook will keep anyone's attention. Different age groups will takeaway different aspects of this book whether it is just entertaining, accepting yourself and others, or learning to boldly be yourself with some jokes sprinkled in. From the French hedgehog Jacque's narration to the background ambient sound, this story comes to life! Highly recommend.

This children's audiobook was so cute! The narrator was absolutely amazing and had my daughter giggling and following intently. His accent and different voices were fantastic. The music and sound effects were also a fun surprise and enjoyable. The actual story was super fun and totally worked as an audiobook, though a physical copy along with the audiobook as a tandem read would be great for my elementary school library! I am quite confident the illustrations would also be great based on the cover image.
Thank you to Macmillan Audio for Roaring Brook Press and NetGalley for an advanced listening copy of this fun children's book.

Audio 3.5/5
Story 5/5
Narration 5/5
Thank you NetGalley for an audio eARC. This is such a cute story. My kids listened with me and loved it! Is underwear a hat for your butt?! I love that the hedgehog was brave enough to share his true self with his friends and found out that everyone has things that makes them unique. My only issue was the audio was a bit confusing at a few points without seeing the physical book pages. The narration though was AMAZING.

A French hedgehog wears undies and is worried the others will find out. One day he has a big party and announces he's into underwear. The other hedgehogs are cool with it and share the weird stuff they like.

Message: be yourself. It feels good and it encourages others to be themselves.

The music is cute but the narration is a bit odd and the story may be improved with pictures.

Thank you for the ARC.

Is that like a hat for your butt? Haha! I love this story. It was so cute. I love how he was brave to share himself with his friends, and then he found out they all had something that was unique to them, and they were empowered to share their truth as well. It was really cute.

Audio was great!

Silly and fun, this was an enjoyable audiobook to listen to with my little ones! We enjoyed the hedgehogs French accents (which definitely added to the humor of the audiobook!).

My kids loved this book. They giggled the whole way through. We enjoyed the narration as well, very well produced.

Fun book with a good message! My 6-year-old enjoyed it, and we’re looking forward to seeing the illustrations.

This is a cute story with musical background and a narrator who lays on a thick French accent for the hedgehog. Kids will want to read and look at the pictures at the same time, so I recommend this for a talking book. I think it's a great story for preschoolers, especially since nothing is funnier than underwear at that age.

This was a fun little book about being yourself and doing the things we like, even if others don't do those things.
The narrator was a bit hard to understand at some points for my kiddos but I liked the way he narrated and the story was really cute!
The hedgehogs were fun and it was a really good story line!

Hedgehogs Don't Wear Underwear, written by Marissa Valdez and narrated by Tim Campbell, is the story of Jacques. a hedgehog who has a secret... He wears underwear. The problem is, Hedgehogs Don't Wear Underwear, and he has decided he has to tell the other hedgehogs.
I loved this book! It was hilarious, and I can see little ones loving it. Although the story was humorous, it also had a message, about accepting yourself for who you are, and being willing to accept others for who they are. This is another book that I am excited to share with the preschoolers that I work with.
Thank you to NetGalley, and to the author, publisher, and narrator of this book for an ALC in exchange for an honest review.

The narrator has a French accent, but super easy to follow along with. The story is super cute as it follows Jacque, a hedgehog who wears underwear. My 5 year old thought this was super funny and wanted to keep listening to it. This is a great book to have kids read and create the image/story in their minds.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

We loved this story. I was funny and well written my 2 toddlers LOVED the French accent. And we all laughed while Jacques faced his fear of being himself.

The narrator was great. Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it. Thank you for this advance reading copy!
