Hello, Hedgehog! series.
This is the debut title in a transitional graphic-novel series starring Hedgehog and friends. Friendly illustrations and clearly defined frames in a small trim size highlight a spare friendship story, with text appearing mainly in word bubbles in three chapters. Newly independent readers will recognize elements of Hedgehog and guinea pig Harry's relationship and will be eager for future installments.

Princess Bing (a rabbit-like animal) learns about a secret tunnel on nearby Mount Kazoo and convinces her father, image-obsessed and dimwitted King Cornelius, that they should investigate. When a search reveals a sinister plot related to an inventor of steampunk technologies, Bing's quick thinking saves the kingdom. Energetic, richly colored panels set a quick pace for this memorable graphic novel with an endearing heroine.
