This is a really cute book that was very informative as well. The photos were cute. I learned so much about hedgehogs and I think my elementary School student would absolutely love this and would probably beg me to buy him a hedgehog
I love hedgies and I’d love to have one as a pet one day. So while I may not be the target audience for this well done how-to manual on pet hedgehog ownership I still found the information inside very useful with adorable photos. The graphics and headings are eye-catching, Information is clear and concise. I had no idea it’s illegal to have a pet hedgie in some states. I’d buy this for a child in my life.
Thanks to the author and publisher for the NetGalley e-arc I received in exchange for my honest review.
My 17yo daughter has been obsessed with hedgehogs for years. Although she's a bit older than the target demographic for this book, she still learned some new things about what it takes to have a hedgie of your own. It discusses the differences between wild and pet hedgehogs, as well as the needs of pets regarding food, shelter, cleanliness and vet care. A solid guide for kids thinking of acquiring one of their own.
I love everything about this series! There are several books giving a brief introduction to odd pets, such as hedgehogs. This is not a comprehensive book, and anyone who decides to go ahead and adopt a hedgehog should learn more first. But young readers can learn the most important practical parts of caring for hedgehogs, like what to feed them and when they need a pet doctor. Even if you don't want a hedgehog pet, you may enjoy this because the pictures are adorable. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
This book was really easy to read and highly informative. This adorable series has a ton of information to help you decide if you want a hedgehog as a pet or not. In addition to loving the charming, vibrant pictures, my kids discovered a ton of new information. I appreciate you including me and allowing me to review this advance copy honestly.
This will be an awesome text to use for persuasive writing. Why someone should get a pet is a great persuasive writing topic and this book is wonderful way for students to gather evidence to plea their case.
This book tells all about owning a hedgehog as a pet. Chapters are only a couple of pages each with simple details easy for an elementary age student to understand. Pictures are included, along with important points such as when to contact a veterinarian. The book encourages taking care of your pet correctly, which is a positive aspect. There is a glossary at the back and an index to make it easy to find information. There are additional resources included on the last page.
This book is nicely put together and would make a great addition to a school or classroom library.
Thank you to #NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for honest feedback.
