Industry Reviews
A sweet story with lovely illustrations to boot, developmentally pitch-perfect for older babies and toddlers.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Yang's simplified gouache paintings picture the spiky brown hedgehog crawling over green fields covered with spiraling grasses, windblown cattails, and fallen autumn leaves, the storm providing ample opportunities for onomatopoeia: "Crack! Baroom! The sky sounds angry." Chinese characters appear alongside the English narration, and a pinyin translation at book's end allows readers to see how sound effects translate.
