( ) Until recently I had never read a Beatrix Potter book. I did not know that Mrs Tiggy-Winkle was a hedgehog who did ironing. I did not know what a 'clear-starcher' was. To be acquainted with the characters and words such as 'goffered' in this miniature edition was a delight. Sadly the enemies of books have been at it - the sticky price label and gift aid sticker could not be removed without severe damage to the front cover. Beautiful, beautiful story. I tip my hat to [a:Beatrix Potter|11593|Beatrix Potter|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1201022492p2/11593.jpg] for managing to perfectly capture the benign and industrious nature of the hedgehog and turn the humble insectivore into a cultural landmark for us all to love and cherish. This was a cute little story about a girl named Lucie and her quest in finding her handkerchiefs. She goes around and asks many animals but no one answers her until she walks into Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle’s house. Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle is cleaning a lot of her neighbor’s clothes and Lucie notices her handkerchiefs in the mist. They become friends but by the end of their day little Lucie realizes that Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle was nothing but a hedgehog. I like how the author incorporated the names of her other characters from her other books into this story. I also liked how the book had a repetitive tone that I think children will find amusing. no reviews | add a review
