Review: 

Such an adorable children's book! 

Hedgehog wasnt to build a house out of a pumpkin and knows just the right one, but the pumpkin patch is far away from the secluded spot he wants to place his home. He has a plan. Along the way Hedgehog meets and gets help from all sorts of other woodlan creatures, a mouse, frog, racoon and realizes that he really enjoys his new friends.

The Fall colors throughout this book are lovely and bright and the end papers are covered in Hedgehog's plan of action to get his pumpkin home AND THEY ARE TOO CUTE. I enjoyed the overall message of 'asking for help is ok and maybe you make a few friends along the way'. This was such a cute read. I liked the message and the critters were all nice and helpful. I appreciated that Hedgehog learned that he likes friends and doesn't want to be alone.

If you are looking for a Fall themed read that includes a pumpkin and not about Halloween. This would be a great one to add to your library.
