Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Porcupines
Curious Kids Press · 2014
58/100
👎 Skip It
Same solid little format as the rest of the Curious Kids Press animal books — real porcupine photos, 15 quick facts, a comprehension quiz. Fine for a young reader's first taste of nonfiction, but there's not much meat on the bone.
