Hedgie the hedgehog discovers the wisdom of the adage 'Don't go poking your nose where it doesn't belong,' but only after curiosity gets this prickly fellow in a pickle . . .
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 in The Hat, a lovely story that will capture the interest of young readers for hours as they pore over the pleasing, spirited details of Jan Brett's trademark picture borders.
