How Do You Hug a Porcupine?

Written by Laurie Isop and Illustrated by Gwen Millward

Imagine trying to hug a porcupine. Hugging a bunny or even a goat seems simple—but a porcupine? That takes some serious bravery.

After watching his friends cuddle their favorite animals, a determined boy decides to try hugging a porcupine himself. The only problem? The porcupine isn’t convinced that a hug is such a good idea.

*This title is available in bilingual Spanish.
