Bramble the Hedgehog

Bramble the Hedgehog (Dr. KittyCat #10) Jane Clarke. 2018. Scholastic.  96 pages. [Source: Review copy]

First sentence: It was a beautiful sunny day in Thistletown.

Premise/plot: Bramble the Hedgehog has a loose tooth, but that won't stop him from enjoying the carnival that has come to town....or will it?! What will happen when Bramble misunderstands ALL the advice given to him by his doctor and his friends?!

My thoughts: It's been a while since I've read the earlier titles in the series. This one struck me as extremely silly and requiring much suspension of disbelief. A carnival has come to town. The animals are riding roller coasters, merry-go-rounds, and a Ferris wheel. And eating, eating, eating carnival foods. I do enjoy the series. The moral--each one decidedly does have a moral or teaching point--is DON'T OVEREAT, especially don't overeat JUNKY junk food.
