The Adventures of Pricklepaper

Join Pricklepaper the litter-picking hedgehog on his evening rounds, sharing the letters he finds and using clever wordplay to help his friends.

Pricklepaper the hedgehog loves collecting scraps of paper in the park - especially when the letters he finds spell a new word that makes him feel all warm and snuggly!

On his way home after a successful night collecting, Pricklepaper encounters some friends in need. He lends his ear and offers advice to each of his friends and discovers some of the letters he has collected on his quills might just be the solution to their problems . . .

Pricklepaper is happy he was able to help his friends, but when he gets home, he is sad. He has given away his precious letters which spelled out a fun new word, and now the leftover letters stuck to his quills make no sense at all!

But then, as he places the remaining letters on the floor, he realises he now has a brand-new word - L.O.V.E.

From actor, author, TV presenter and celebrated wordsmith, Tom Read Wilson, The Adventures of Pricklepaper is built around delightful rhyme and wordplay, offering the pleasure of spotting patterns and seeing how small changes in language - and good deeds - can make a meaningful difference.

Brought to life with adorable, timeless full-colour illustrations by Rebecca Bagley, this rewarding picture book invites children to both celebrate sharing and kindness, and engage playfully with words.
