A delightfully original companion book to Jan Brett's bestseller The Mitten.

When Lisa's woolen stocking flies off the clothesline, Hedgie finds it and pokes his nose in. He tries to pull it out, but the stocking gets stuck on his prickles -- and the fun begins.

A mother hen comes by, then a noisy goose, a talkative barn cat, a playful farm dog, a mama pig and her piglets, and a pony. They all laugh at Hedgie, especially when he pretends he's wearing a new hat. But in the end, it is clever Hedgie who has the last laugh.

And where is Lisa when all of this is going on? She's in Jan Brett's signature borders, getting ready for winter, until she realizes her stocking is missing and she enters the story to look for it.

Luminous paintings of a Scandinavian farm and the forest around it are bathed in northern light, as the snow begins to fall and the adventure unfolds.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A clever and appealing picture book . . . . Brett's illustrations are done in her trademark style of highly detailed depictions of her characters and a creative use of borders. . . . The pictures, story, and subject matter make this a natural for sharing aloud."—School Library Journal


"In a companion book to Brett's The Mitten (1989), a little girl decides to unpack her winter woolens from their decorated chest and hang them out on a line to air before winter comes. . . . The satisfying story celebrates the cozy hearth, home, and barnyard of picturesque Scandinavian country life, frozen in time. Brett's somber tones of pre-winter are enlivened by the intricate, colorful clothing; her fine, independent heroine is in charge of the story, and the inventive little hedgehog triumphs as well."—Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

With over thirty four million books in print, Jan Brett is one of the nation's foremost author illustrators of children's books. Jan lives in a seacoast town in Massachusetts, close to where she grew up. During the summer her family moves to a home in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts.

As a child, Jan Brett decided to be an illustrator and spent many hours reading and drawing. She says, "I remember the special quiet of rainy days when I felt that I could enter the pages of my beautiful picture books. Now I try to recreate that feeling of believing that the imaginary place I'm drawing really exists. The detail in my work helps to convince me, and I hope others as well, that such places might be real."

As a student at the Boston Museum School, she spent hours in the Museum of Fine Arts. "It was overwhelming to see the room-size landscapes and towering stone sculptures, and then moments later to refocus on delicately embroidered kimonos and ancient porcelain," she says. "I'm delighted and surprised when fragments of these beautiful images come back to me in my painting."

Travel is also a constant inspiration. Together with her husband, Joe Hearne, who is a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Jan visits many different countries where she researches the architecture and costumes that appear in her work. "From cave paintings to Norwegian sleighs, to Japanese gardens, I study the traditions of the many countries I visit and use them as a starting point for my children's books."

A great funny story that teaches us that whatever we have in mind about others, might not necessarily be valid. A great message for readers, I also loved the wonderful sense of humour! Beautiful images, made with love and concern.

For decades I've been a fan and collector of author & illustrator, Jan Brett and her books! Her story lines are always sweet with a life lesson usually evident. Otherwise, purely fun and delightful as in this story - another Hedgie the Hedgehog adventure with her animal and barnyard friends! The ending is fabulous fun! The book throughout, as all Jan Brett's children's books, is illustrated beautifully, with magnificent details, full color and all the way to the edges of the page. For young and old, this book (and all her books) is a treasure! This is perfect for a child's library! I personally bought this as a baby gift which will be greatly enjoyed. I am in my sixties, and still love browsing through my Jan Brett collection of books, myself!

I used this in my Toddler classroom when we do our unit on winter. I also purchased a little stuffed hedgehog and used farm animals to jazz up the lesson. The book is well made and Toddler proof! The illustrations are bright and cheery. Sweet story.

Sweet story about a hedgehog who gets a sock stuck on its head.
The real gem is more than just the words - it’s the illustrations. So much to see on each page. There is the main picture in the middle, then there are the pictures along the sides that show what the little girl, Lisa, is up to and what animal comes next. Then there are the pegs along the top and one by one the clothes disappear as you go along. My children (ages 2-9) all enjoy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely illustrations and good story
Reviewed in Japan on August 27, 2003

The illustrations are lovely - you can really get a feel for the Danish landscape and the farm animals are so well-drawn. The story is good too. The little inset panels show multiple threads of the story and allow children to follow the sequence of the story, but I think there are too many of them and they tend to make the pages rather busy. As with many folk tales there's a strong moral in there, about sticking to your guns even if others laugh at you. A good book for the over threes. There's a board book edition too but I don't think toddlers can understand the story.
