Review

Hurry Home, Hedgehog! is part of a series of board books in English and Mandarin Chinese. In this book hedgehog experiences sounds of nature such as animal sounds and rain or thunder. The crisp clear illustrations are perfect for young reader's eyes. The books give the pronunciation key at the end of the book, rather than along with the Mandarin text, which would be preferable. Still these board books give young readers an easy and fun way to explore a new language.

Overall Book Score: very good
