Max the hedgehog is so funny! He keeps calling everyone hodgehegs! I love this book as I love hedgehogs. It also helps you to learn about road safety.

My teacher has been reading us the hodgeheg and I really like it. My favourite characters are the three sisters. They are like me and my sisters. I don't have a brother though. I would tell all the brownies out there to read this book cos its so cool.

I enjoyed The Hodgeheg and would recommend it to a friend. My favourite character was Max because he was so adventurous and was determined to cross. In the story, Max wanted to find a safe place for hedgehogs to cross the road. He found one way- a zebra crossing. He tried to get over the road, but got bumped by a car and so had to go home. When he got gome he spoke backwardly from the bump. He went out again to find a safer way to cross and found traffic lights with a red and green man. He got bumped again. So when he went out for a third time he found a solution. A lollipop lady! This was a great book.

I read this book twice as it was so good. Max is so funny because when a bike bumped into him he started getting rather mixed up.

I think it was great! When Max's dad asks for his the street really quickly! When he starts saying things backwards, I think that is the best part! He says things like "Hodgeheg" and "K.O". I can't help but laugh!

I think it is lovely and Max is very funny. Max is a hedgehog who becomes a little confused, but then Max gets his speech right.
