Herbie's Big Adventure

(4) K-3 Herbie--a little hedgehog on his first foraging adventure--is blown into a snowy forest by the wind, exhibits courage when challenged, and eventually returns to his mother's waiting arms. While it's a sweet story of independence, illustrated in soft colors and swirls, Herbie never does find food and seems to travel in time as well, which may be confusing to younger readers.
