BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A young hedgehog and her two squirrel friends run into the woods to play hide and seek, ignoring the other forest creatures' warnings that they must hurry home to hibernate instead. When a fox shows up, they suddenly realize how foolish they've been. Can they make it home before they become a feast for the hungry fox?
The colorful illustrations are pretty, but the plot itself is lacking in depth. The characters' only goal seems to be to keep playing despite everyone in the entire forest telling them to go home. And then, finally... they go home. Humor, surprise, stronger goals, or a less anti-climactic ending may have made Go Home, Little One! less forgettable. Unfortunately, none of those things were apparent.
