Spikey: The New Children's Book to Help Save the Hedgehogs!

#Gifted

We are big hedgehog fans so when Spikey by Tereza Anteneova was released in July 2021 I knew it was a book that I wanted to read with my son.

Spikey is available in paperback (£9.99), hardback (£12.99) and ebook (£5.99) at all good bookshops and online retailers.

Adults can read this book for home or school with children or advanced readers can read by themselves.  The book also features two levels of reading comprehension questions for younger and older readers.

Spikey Synopsis

In Regent’s Park, London, a lonely and rejected hedgehog called Spikey must learn quickly if he is to survive the coming winter.  With only the wisdom of his grandma to guide him, he sets out into the big, wide world.  

Who will help him, and how will he cope when there are dangers all around? An exciting and heart-warming story for children and hedgehog-lovers of all ages.

Spikey is supported by Hedgehog Street, a charity campaign that seeks to stop the decline in hedgehog numbers and encourage people to create hedgehog-friendly gardens. 

Additional supporting material about helping hedgehogs for schools and homes can be found at www.thelittlehedgehog.com.
