  • Johnny Hedgehog and the Summer Holidays

    Johnny Hedgehog and the Summer Holidays is a story of friendship and discovery. When the school bell rings for the last time, Johnny can hardly wait to dive into the freedom of long summer days. The summer starts with an exciting game to pick the destination of the family holiday. While on holiday Johnny finds a beautiful glass bottle and this simple find leads Johnny on the adventure of his life. Sometimes funny, sometimes a little tricky, but always interesting! As the summer stretches on, Johnny comes to realise that the best memories aren't found in the places you visit but, in the friends, you find along the way. With playful storytelling, endearing characters, and a touch of wonder, this book captures the freedom to be found in summer afternoons—sunshine, laughter, and exploration. A perfect read for young adventurers and a bedtime favourite for families.
