From School Library Journal:

PreS-Gr 2—Horace and Hattie, the endearing hedgehogs from Hedgehugs, are back. While the best friends are out adventuring, they watch a caterpillar's transformation into a butterfly. After careful observation, they get the idea to eat tons and nap in a soft and silky bed, hoping that they, too, will awaken as colorful and wonderful as the butterfly. So after much munching and crunching, the two make a bed of flowers to nestle into and fall asleep. When they awaken, they question whether they have changed. Tapper's adorable artwork is a perfect complement to the simple text. VERDICT While perhaps not a must-purchase, this appealing read-aloud addresses both metamorphosis and how we can all be colorful and wonderful in our own ways.—Shana Morales, Windsor Public Library, CT
