Until, one day, greedy, hungry honey badger selfishly eats all the honey. Honeyguide is not happy and decides to lead a chase to what the badger thinks is his share.

Jan Brett's books never cease to amaze. She is incredibly talented, and I simply enjoy looking at her marvelous astistry. Young Hedgie the hedgehog feels the chill in the air and knows snow is not far behind. This year, Hedgie vows to stay awake throughout the winter and enjoy the beauty of fresh snow that coats every thing around the farm. This year, Hedgie doesn't want to miss a minute.

This is yet another beautiul book that I've come to expect from Jan Brett. While Snowy wants to stay awake, she is having a difficult time keeping her eyes open. Young Lisa loves all the creatures that live on the farm. She makes a special basket bed for Hedgie and brings her inside. Every day there is something new to watch. The chicken coup sparkles; Lisa's skating around the ice with the ducks brings special job. And this year she is awake long enough to see the snowmen Lisa made. Every day Hedgie had a more difficult time staying awake. But, one day she awakes to all the animals that belong in the barn and in the woods now inside the house.

I always enjoy the creativity of this artist.… (más)
