Pages: 15 (including cover and credits). Sizes: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both included as PDF.

Who it’s for: Ages 6–12 · families · eco-clubs · KS1/KS2 science and citizenship.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; covers are dark, so start from page 2 to save ink.

Practical tasks (making gaps, building a feeding station) are written for children to do with an adult.

Every fact is checked against named sources (British Hedgehog Preservation Society, PTES/Hedgehog Street, Manx Wildlife Trust and others) and listed on the credits page. Images are public domain or CC0 (historic natural-history plates and CC0 photos) or REALLYBYTE’s own artwork.
