Little Porcupine comes back

I liked this book very much because it reminded me of the times when my dad reads or tells me bedtime stories. This book has a very good message and it makes you feel happy, which is nice before you fall sleep. The illustrations are also very nice and colorful. I am happy to see a new Porcupine book. I still read the first book "How Little Porcupine Played Christmas" every Christmas, but in this book the Porcupine is older. This book will be a nice Christmas present,especially for children who like to listen to nice bedtime stories.

Little Porcupine Returns!

One of our family's favorite holiday stories is Joseph Slate's "The Little Porcupine Who Played Christmas", and so I was surprised and delighted to come across a new book featuring our old friend, "Story Time for Little Porcupine".Like children everywhere, Little Porcupine is reluctant to go to bed every evening, and like parents everywhere, Papa can only get him to settle down by telling stories. The tales he tells are porcupine legends that explain the origin of the sun's rays, what a sunset really is, and where the stars come from. A good children's book should not only entertain, but should also encourage youngsters to exercise their own imaginations. Mr. Slate's latest offering meets both criteria admirably. You'll find your audience hanging on your every word, and you may discover that Little Porcupine's curiosity will have your own little porcupines looking with greater interest at the world around them. Jacqueline Rogers's illustrations are the perfect complement to Mr. Slate's narration. Her depiction of the sun as the Big Porcupine and the moon as a sly coyote are a must-see.Looking for a gift that will be a continual source of pleasure for your kids? You won't go wrong with "Story Time for Little Porcupine."
