The text isn't much, certainly too repetitive. And the idea wouldn't seem to have much to it. But it was executed so well. And the art is cute. And the book just basically works.

A fun story about a hedgehog named Hedgie who accidentally got a sock stuck on his prickles after it fell off Lisa's clothesline. As Hedgie wanders around with the sock, other animals start making fun of him (but he'd keep coming up with great comebacks!).
I think what makes this book special is the detailed artwork with a little image on the left depicting Lisa going about her day after putting her clothes up on the clothesline, an image of the clothesline at the top of the spread showing the dwindling clothes, and an image of the right with a preview of the next animal that Hedgie will encounter.

Part of a personal challenge to read all of my boyfriend's and his sister's childhood books before we donate and give them away.

Student Review: It was a good book. The cat looked at the hat the hedgehog was wearing. It was a silly book. I liked it.

"THOSE FOOLS WILL TASTE MY REVENGE FOR THEIR INSOLENCE," thought the Hedgehog, probably.

I’m never disappointed by a story from Jan Brett. Hedgehog is the center of this amusing story. A little girl is airing out her winter woolens when one sock falls off the clothesline. A curious hedgehog sticks his head in the opening and it gets stuck on his prickles. It’s quite cute. So now he tells all the animals laughing at him that it is a hat.
What I enjoy about the story is on each page in the panels, we see the little girl, on the top we see the clothes line and on the right we see the next animal that will laugh at the hedgehog’s hat. As the pages turn, the items on the clothesline start to dwindle. It’s fun to watch and catch it.
The little girl chases down the hedgehog and gets her glove back and then laughs at all the animals wearing ‘hats’ in the yard.
The kids thought this was amusing as well and they know a Jan Brett book when they see it. They are also fans now as their mother adores them. Well, the whole family does. This got 5 stars all around.

I like to read this and/or her version of the Mitten. I explain to the students how Jan Brett researches habitats and I show how I know her stories take place in the Ukraine. We go to World Book and Culture Grams and start in the Ukraine and then visit other stories like Baltic and then other places.
