			        		PreS-K&#x2013;The red from a field of poppies washes over the world after a long rainstorm. Hedgehog follows the path of crimson as it&#xA0;makes its mark on everything, from fox feet and a man&apos;s beard to fish scales and river light. Bleached of their color, the flowers are restored to their original shade with a can of paint by the enterprising Hedgehog. This salute to red has a few misses, as when the thorns mentioned are barely visible. However, Shaughnessy&apos;s line drawings are dynamic, with spots of scarlet as embellishment. The animal&apos;s personality charms from the first spread, as it uses a newspaper to avoid rain while wearing red rain boots. Hedgehog also mails a love letter, knits directly from a ram&apos;s coat, and cuts out a paper butterfly banner. Martin&apos;s rhythmic text and use of repetition and alliteration, coupled with graceful scenes of nature celebrating the day&apos;s downpour, make a soothing read aloud.&#x2013;Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA&#x3B1;(c) Copyright 2013.
