About this deal

The Hodgeheg’ is a story about an intelligent hedgehog named ‘Max’. Max lives in the garden of 5A with ‘Pa Hedgehog’, ‘Ma Hedgehog’, and his three sisters, ‘Peony Hedgehog’, ‘Penny Hedgehog’ and ‘Petunia Hedgehog’. This is a good story of road safety and overcoming obstacles, which I used with year 3 which they enjoyed and were able to access easily as a class with it being read to them. I think this would be suitable for either year 3 or 4 and could also be used for independent reading and curriculum support in PSHE for things such as road safety and overcoming obstacles. This story is about a determined hedgehog called Max and his family. They live oppostite a wonderful park full of snails, slugs and other delights for hedgehogs. There is just one problem... the busy road between them and the park. Education Shed Ltd, Severn House, Severn Bridge, Riverside North, Bewdley, Worcestershire, UK, DY12 1AB Among his well-loved books is Babe, The Gallant Pig, which was recently made into a major motion picture, and was nominated for an Academy Award.

Max is a hedgehog who lives with his family in a nice little home, but unfortunately on the wrong side of the road from the Park, with its beautiful lily pond, and more importantly its juicy slugs, worms and snails! Max's story will provide an entertaining and heartwarming story to read to young children or for confident young readers to read to themselves. The busy road is dangerous but Max is determined to make his way across. If humans can do it, why can't hedgehogs? His first attempt ends in a nasty bump on the head and, when Max tries to speak, he realises his words are all mixed up. He is no longer a hedgehog but a hodgeheg! They will begin to recognise that a contraction is made up of two words and what those two words are. The Hodgeheg’ is the story of Max, a young hedgehog who wants to play in the park; his only obstacle is a busy road. When he tries to cross the road he ends up with a bump on his head, which confuses him, and he begins to say everything all jumbled up. He is determined to reach the park where there is lots of juicy food like worms so he begins to watch the humans crossing. First he see’s that when the man turns green all the humans cross. So one day he readies himself at the edge of the path and when the man turns green he tries to run across the road. He is halfway across, but then the humans from the other side approach and he gets pushed around and is unable to get to the other side. Finally he see’s the lollipop lady and with the help of his family they all cross safely together.

The pictures add extra charm to the book and help the children relate to the characters in the book. There are some nice little realistic details, like the description of the difference between a juvenile and an adult hedgehog, and how noisy young hedgehogs are (it really is true). The illustrations are sweet, too. His first attempt ends in a nasty bump on the head, and Max finds when he tries to speak his words are all mixed up. He is now a Hodgeheg, not a hedgehog, but he is still determined to fulfil his mission. We have differentiated the resource so you can choose the best resource for your Year 2 and Year 3 groups. Max is a hedgehog who lives with his family in a nice little home, but it’s on the wrong side of the road from the Park where there’s a beautiful lily pond and plenty of juicy slugs, worms and snails!
