Pickles' Prickly Problem - by Lydia Ripper (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Pickles, the prickle-less hedgehog, is smooth, round, perfectly squishy... and different from all his hedgehog friends, so he's embarking on an adventure to find his prickles!

Prickles are very important for hedgehogs. But just how does a prickle-less hedgehog find his spines? Well, Pickles has lots of ideas--coloring pencils, carrots, and lollipops, to name a few! But none of them are quite right...

Themes of discovery, cooperation and self-acceptance are explored through bright, beautiful illustrations and endearing characters, brought to you by writer and illustrator Lydia Ripper. Pickles' vibrant personality is bound to capture the hearts of animal lovers everywhere and might just inspire them to embrace what makes them different.
