!! This book provides examples of:

* CheerfulChild: Hattie to the point that she sings while she's canoe.
* FreeRangeChildren: Hattie appears to be this, being allowed to freely go out in her canoe alone in a large lake. She was even able to do this while several of the townspeople were preparing to hunt down Hudson, who they thought was a dangerous beast.
* FriendToAllChildren: Towards the end of the book Hudson is seen both playing with children and even allowing several of them to play on him.
* GentleGiant: Hudson is massive, in fact his entire head is at least 10 times the size of Hattie.
* GlowingEyes: Hudson's eyes glow at night.
* ItCanThink: Hudson the monster who's apparently smart enough to think of a plan to save himself from the fearful townspeople.
* StockNessMonster: Hudson, he's even named after a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_River large body]][[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Bay of water]], though InUniverse he's named after Hattie's uncle's dog.
