How Do You Hug a Porcupine?

(3) PS Illustrated by Gwen Millward. "Can you hug some billy goats? / Entice them with a bag of oats!" Well-metered verse describes the conundrum of one brave boy who, after watching his friends hug horses, cows, bunnies, pigs, yaks, and a host of other animals, figures out the best way to hug a porcupine: "carefully!" Finely detailed watercolors suggest the delicacy required for this potentially prickly pursuit.
