Description

The fifteenth in a fantastic series of animal stories for younger readers by Waterstones Children's Book Prize-shortlisted author Helen Peters, with beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Ellie Snowdon.

Jasmine's dad is a farmer, and her mum is a vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself...

Jasmine is delighted to be nursing an injured hedgehog back to health until, on the afternoon of Bonfire Night, Snuffle escapes. As darkness falls and everyone prepares their bonfire celebrations, can Jasmine find Snuffle's hiding place before the first match is lit

Brilliant storytelling that will make you laugh and cry, this is Dick King-Smith for a new generation. Perfect for readers aged seven and up.

A Hedgehog Called Snuffle can be read as a stand-alone story, or enjoyed as part of the Jasmine Green series. Look out for A Piglet Called Truffle, A Sheepdog Called Sky, A Goat Called Willow, A Seal Pup Called Pearl, A Rabbit Called Clover and many more!
