Porcupining: A Prickly Love Story

32 pp. | Little/Tingley | February, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-316-98912-6 $$14.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Janie Bynum. A porcupine troubadour goes out searching for a wife, singing to each animal in the petting zoo, until he finds the only other one with the "No petting" signs on her habitat: Barb the Hedgehog. Cushion and Barb fall instantly in love. Filled with puns that sometimes fall flat, this sentimental story is illustrated with humorous watercolor and pastel pictures, keeping the tone light and easy.
