Lulu and the Hedgehog in the Rain

By Hilary McKay and Priscilla Lamont

Lulu loves animals. She knows that the hedgehog she rescued isn't really a pet, but Lulu does want to make sure she's all right. And so the Hedgehog Club is born. Everyone on the street agrees to keep an eye on the little hedgehog and keep it away from the road. But come wintertime the hedgehog disappears! Where could she have gone?

Reviews for Lulu and the Hedgehog in the Rain

[bookwren · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Another fine Lulu animal adventure, enjoyable to this 54-year-old despite the young character because the author writes so well and believably and meaningfully. I love how Lulu loves the rain and wants to go out in it on "the wettest day of my life." I love that Lulu is so herself and advocates for animals to everyone, even the "Bossyman."

A delightful book about a girl called Lulu and her cousin, Mellie. Lulu loves animals and has lots of pets. One rainy day she finds a hedgehog and gets all the neighbours on board to help provide it with a safe home.
