"An adorable book that kept both kids (aged 11 and 13) engaged to the end and gave mom and dad some pointers on how to handle these delicate emotions. I even learned a little something about hedgehogs!"

"Such a cute and educational children’s book. My daughter is only 18 months, but she loved going through the book and pointing out everything! It will be a great resource when she’s older to teach her about managing her emotions."
