The writer David Elliott and the illustrator Eugene Yelchin pair their talents to droll and beguiling effect in “Boar and Hedgehog,” a picture book for children ages 4-9 about a prickly friendship.
—The Wall Street Journal

Playful and witty art perfectly suits this marvelously understated story. Cleverly composed, firmly outlined, deeply colored illustrations convey both Boar’s cranky intransigence and Hedgehog’s politely expressed good sense.
—Kirkus Reviews

[An] engaging picture book.
—Publishers Weekly

The sweet story has a cheeky sense of humor to keep it from getting too sentimental, and it’s a hoot to watch Boar reevaluate his relationship with Hedgehog. Vibrant mixed-media illustrations feature wonderful texture and detail, and Boar’s wide range of expressions are a particular pleasure. A funny and warm examination of what it takes to make a friend.
