"Mr. Hedgehog and His Missing Spectacles" is a cute and funny story all in one! Mr. Hedgehog thought he left his spectacles on a log, but when he went to get them, they were not there. He goes on a funny adventure to locate his glasses. It's funny because he really cannot see correctly without his glasses, so the things he says and does are quite hilarious. Children will laugh at this silly hedgehog! While most of his friends are quite unhelpful, he finally finds one friend who joins in looking for his glasses. There is a moral written at the end of the book about good friends helping. Sometimes we need friends to help us see what we are unable to see for ourselves.
The book would be good for kids around ages 4-7.

I LOVED this book!!!!

This is SUCH an adorable book! I absolutely loved the art and story! The hedge hog is a wonderful character and his “mistaken vision” is hilarious! Highly, highly recommend this book!!

Charming

This book, and especially the gorgeous illustrations, reminded me of classic old picture books like The Mitten. Your kids will love following Mr. Hedgehog around as he explores and meets all the adorable animals that live near by.

Inspiring

The art work is stunning in this book, as it is in all the books by this author. A wonderful tale, children will love, love, love this. I’ve been reading all these books on kindle but I’m now going to buy them as real books as so good.

Delightful

The colorful illustrations are beautiful. Small children who wear eyeglasses will relate well and feel encouraged. Others will enjoy the variety of animals and especially the giraffe.

Not deep, but a good story nevertheless. Nice pictures.

Not bad

Not a bad storyline but not necessarily the best children's book ever. I would've liked to see more of a storyline and some of the animals attitudes I didn't like.

Very cute and funny book

I really enjoyed reading this story with my son. It’s funny, sweet and cool (per my son.) Illustrations are great.

It was so cute and the illustrations were so adorable.

My only complaint is that I didn't get to hear grandma raccoon's story!
