Editorial Reviews

A huggable porcupine guides tots through examples of the sense of touch in this rainbow-splashed board book. Each of the 12 double-page spreads features a descriptive word, printed in large white font against a brightly colored background, followed by a simple sentence using the word and a charming, digital illustration of the porcupine acting out the text, often with the help of a monkey or some birds. For example, Porcupine is tucked in bed for "Snuggly. When I wake up in the morning, my blanket feels snuggly." Some other words include tickly, rough, sharp, cool, squishy, and fluffy. - Julia Smith
