Hurry Home, Hedgehog!
A Bilingual Book of Sounds
Age 2+
Picture Books
In English and Mandarin Chinese, Belle Yang’s bilingual board books celebrate the natural world with simple concepts and beautiful, bold illustrations.
Wet weather is coming — whoosh! As rain falls like soybeans — ping ping, pang pang — Hedgehog runs quickly —pitter patter. Soon he will be safe and warm with Mama — purr purr. What other sounds does he hear along the way? Tonal marks used in the book are explained in a final spread, along with a pinyin translation of the Chinese characters.
