The beloved pair of hedgehogs return in a slyly charming story about friends, playing, and doing the same fun thing over and over and over. It's finally spring, and Big Hedgehog and Little Hedgehog are ready to explore the world after having slept all winter. Everything looks the same, but also new. Over the course of a lovely day they run into old friends and take part in fun activities-swinging, teasing, jumping around-and each time Little Hedgehog wants to do the same thing again and again. Kids will enjoy the repetition of Little Hedgehog's plea, ?Again!? and parents will appreciate the gentle humor-and unending patience of Big Hedgehog. Teckentrup's signature softly colored artwork beautifully conveys the pleasures of the natural world-trees, flowers, clouds, a moonlit sky--while cleverly depicting a wide variety of animal friends-owls, turtles, ladybugs, and more. Fans of Teckentrup's work will welcome the newest adventure with the hedgehogs while new readers will be delighted to discover the pair's earlier and equally satisfying adventures.
