Malina’s Jam Book Review
Malina’s Jam is a sweet story about sharing and friendship.
Malina is a shy hedgehog who learns that friendship can provide you with all you need and more! Malina loves to tend to her raspberry garden, drink tea and read books alone in her home. Her raspberry garden provides her with enough fruit to make jam to last her the entire winter.
In the past, Malina has been too shy to talk to her neighbors but this year she receives numerous compliments on her raspberry jam and she generously begins giving jars away as gifts. Trouble arises when Malina realizes that sharing her jam might make her happier than keeping it all to herself. Will Malina have enough jam leftover for herself?
The end of this endearing book has a sweet surprise for hedgehogs and humans alike!
