So what if she's not a delicate little butterfly? Harriet the Hedgehog LOVES to dance! A springtime tale of friendship and self-acceptance illustrated by acclaimed artist Caroline Jayne Church.
Harriet the Hedgehog gleefully joins in the butterflies' dance--until she notices they've all stopped to stare. "Butterflies only dance with butterflies," they declare. Tears in her eyes, Harriet runs, trips, and tumbles down a hill. "Where've you been?" her friend Ivor asks when she finally arrives on his doorstep. "Dancing with butterflies. They look like flowers," Harriet sighs. Ivor exclaims, "You look like a flower, too!" Harriet sees her reflection in a puddle: All the flowers from her hillside fall have stuck to her bristles! And that makes her so happy, she starts to dance!

PreS—Those snobby butterflies! Harriet the hedgehog stops on her way to her friend's house to watch them dancing and decides to join in. But she is summarily informed that "The butterfly dance is only for butterflies." It's a blow to the little creature's joyful nature, and by the time she meets up with Igor, another hedgehog, she feels very sad. He eventually cheers her up by dancing, and her other animal friends join them. And of course, the butterflies see them having so much fun that they can't help asking to join in. Church's collage illustrations are charming and vibrant, and children will love the depictions of the protagonist as she progresses through the story. Harriet is someone who goes against the rules in a gentle way, and readers will fall in love with her spirit.—Susan E. Murray, Glendale Public Library, AZ
