Little Porcupine's Christmas Book Review

5/25/2018

In Little Porcupine's Christmas by Joseph Slate, the animals of Creature Creek School are preparing for the Baby in the Manger play.  Porcupine can't wait to try out for a part.  When he arrives at tryouts, his classmates are less than kind.

All of the parts have been assigned.  Porcupine must now be part of the stage crew.  He helps design the sets.  He keeps the stage clean.  But when a disaster threatens the play, will he have the courage to help the classmates that ridiculed him?

I thought this was a sweet story.  My heart ached for Porcupine.  I think that readers of all ages will relate to the theme of not judging a book by its cover.

Felicia Bond's illustrations are outstanding.  Having illustrated such classics as If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Take a Mouse to the Movies, children will instantly recognize her work in the Creature Creek students.  Her characters are adorable as well as iconic.

This is a wonderful read for children ages 3-6.
