Illustrated by
Jacqueline Rogers.
Little Porcupine and his dad share stories about the Big Porcupine in the Sky, the sun that shines over all the porcupines on earth. Three original pourquoi tales give explanations for the sun's rays, beautiful sunsets, and the existence of stars. Checkerboard borders set off the watercolor illustrations for the bedtime stories, while those showing the porcupines on earth are full of homey woodland touches.
