4.0 out of 5 stars This book is short but satisfying, July 10, 2000
By A Customer
This book is about a hedgehog who is captured by scientists that are studying how hedgehogs live. They put a trnsmittor on him so they can track his movements. All the other hegehogs think that he is a king, king of hedgehogs. He wants a 'queen' so he sends his sisters out in search of one. He cannot find one. Then he meets an albino hedgehog. He thinks she is beautiful and wants her for his queen. He tries talking to her but she doesn't like him. Then something happens that probably woudn't have happened if it weren't for her. He crosses the road and..... And you should read the book if you want to know what happened!

5.0 out of 5 stars a timeless masterpiece, February 8, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: King Max (Planet Reader) (Paperback)
Max is a decent, everyday-average hedgehog whose life is changed forever in one day after being captured by two scientists. He is fitted with a tracking device that will help the scientists monitor hedgehog behavior, but strangely resembles a crown. After returning to his home, Max is worshiped as the king of all hedgehogs, known as King Max. After awhile King Max decides he needs a Queen. When an albino hedgehog comes into the picture King Max falls madly in love and sets forth to make her his queen. The albino hedgehog does not seem to buy into King Max's "big headed" ways. In the name of love King Max shocks the readers with an ending that is nothing short of spectacular.
