Mr. Prickles the porcupine tries so very hard to make friends, but it’s just not very easy for others to get close to him—those sharp quills get in the way. But when he meets a fellow porcupine, Miss Pointypants, things begin to look up for the prickly fellow. With fun illustrations and sharp prose (including lots of pointed puns), this is sure to become a favourite among kids and parents alike.
