Henry The Hedgehog Is In A Hurry follows the journey of a young hedgehog who has a problem that is all too familiar to children in our society's current landscape: The energetic and ambitious Henry takes on too much in his day and has so much to do that he can't possibly juggle it all. Henry ultimately learns that when we don't take time to breathe and focus on one task at a time, we set ourselves up to fail instead of achieving more.
The affable hedgehog creates a miles-long to-do list, adding more and more to his plate. As he attempts to complete multiple tasks at once, believing it will help him get through his many jobs, it only serves to create a hilarious pandemonium as all breaks loose and his master plan falls short. The rollicking and undulating text of the story mimics the speed and chaos with which Henry attempts to complete all of the many chores and assignments he has plotted out for his day. Families will delight in the exceptional read-aloud nature of this frenetic and silly story with a big lesson.
