about the book

Who’s that shuffling around in the leaves? It’s Vern! This story is about Vern who is a delightful, curious and quirky hedgehog. The book follows him on his adventures and the mischief he can get up to in one night! Join Vern on his journey to see who or what he meets. There is another animal who decides to join you and Vern on his adventures, and this is Wesley the Worm. As an added challenge are you able to spot Wesley on every page? Hedgehogs are becoming an increasingly rare sight to see in the UK. They are one of the most loved mammals native to the UK. This book follows the night-time adventures that hedgehogs face in a light-hearted way. You’ll see the animals that Vern may meet and how you at home could entice Vern into your garden.
