This book is about a family of hedgehogs and max tries to cross a road and gets hit in the head by a bike and his words get mixed up

I gave a 5 because the hedge hogs are always trying to find a way to do it and in the end they do it with some help. Max the hedge hog is my favourite. I would recommend it to everyone.

I really thought the little hedgehog was very brave when he tried to cross the busy street and then things take a turn for the worse. I really admire his courage.

This book is a fiction book. My favourite characters in this book was Peony, Pansy and Petunia. My favourite part of it was when they thought they would change the world for all hedgehog kind

This book is about Max, the hedgehog who becomes a hodgeheg, a hero! His family want to cross the road safely and he is clever so solves the problem. The book made me feel sad because hedgehogs were dying crossing the road but happy at the end. I would recommend this book to readers who like animal and family stories, like me.
