Porcupine is pining for a wife...it's fun to watch him approach various animals and try to make a match. Cute for Valentine's day with preschool-grade 2. (Online at Tumblebooks)

Porcupining: A Prickly Love Story is about a porcupine named Cushion who lives in a petting zoo. Cushion, being a porcupine, cannot be petted. This creates a problem from Cushion because is so lonely. It is no fun for a porcupine to live in a petting zoo since he can’t be touched. He gets very lonely and decides one day he will no longer be depressed he will go find a wife. He stops at all the animal’s cages like the pigs, beavers, and rabbits to try to get a wife. This fails miserable because Cushion keeps insulting everyone. Finally he finds a hedgehog named Barbara and they fall in love because they both have quills. This story was so cute! I would love to read this story around Valentine’s Day. The website I attached is print outs from the story describing porcupines. I found it on Lisa Wheelers website. (
