Ida travels to the seaside with a red suitcase full of colourful hedgehogs. Around the journey: colour and letter puzzles, word snakes, word builders, spot-the-difference, colouring pages and writing prompts, created and illustrated by Bremen-based graphic designer Manuela Rose.
The world
'Ida packs the hedgehogs' is made for afternoons, holidays, trips and waiting times. Children draw, write and puzzle their way in – and turn every prompt into something of their own. Recurring characters and a distinctive, colourful style make the world ready for a series. Original language: German.
