Hedgehog Digs into Reading!

The Cutest Hedgehog You Ever Did See 
is reading books in the Library!

This image is from Etsy, I am not selling it, just adoring it

Hedgehogs?  Really?  Hedgehogs?  My colleague, Michelle, would say "whaaaaat?" Who needs a hedgehog?!

"Dig into Reading" has me busy discovering new flannel frontiers.  I would never imagine" me" with a hedgehog.  But yesterday I did a search on Google Images for a hedgehog template and found this absolutely adorable hedgehog on Etsy.  Honestly, this hedgehog is too darn cute.  I could be best friends with this hedgehog!  I would read lots of hedgehog stories if this little sweetie was in my library.  Piper would not be pleased if this hedgehog joined our team. Nuh-unh.  And yet...I just may have to make this hedgehog.

Here's what happened next:  I made a sketch

And then:

With my flannel hedgehog I'll recite the ever familiar Brown Bear lines with a bit of British finesse!

Hedgehog Hedgehog whatever do you see?

I see a Squirrel looking at me

a Snake

a Spider

Hedgehog, hedgehog whatever do you see?

I see a little boy looking at me!

I found these free coloring pages  while searching for a template. The one with the worm, well that's just Dig into Reading Hedge-HOG- Heaven!!

Just want to say, this has been smashing but need to run off.  Piper's offered me a quiet spot for a kip.  She's my new pal!  Bye now. ~ The Hedgehog
