Prickles realizes that what the other animals have to say doesn’t matter and that it is much nicer to be alone with someone who loves his quills-Miss Pointypants. The forest animals make fun of the two porcupines and say hurtful things about the pair. They even watch the moon rise over the water. But one day he meets Miss Pointypants and they begin to have fun together.
Refusing to frolic with him anymore, the other animals end up telling him he isn’t cute, cuddly or playful. Food gets stuck in his quills during playtime, and his spines are certainly unwelcome at a sleepover. Although he tries to be friendly with the other animals in the forest, things just never work out. Prickles, a porcupine, has difficulty making friends.
But no one needs to wait for a holiday to share their heartfelt sentiments or say, “I love you.” The following book reviews, written by members of the Children’s Literature and Reading Special Interest Group explore the infinite varieties of love to be found in recent publications. Children and adults create and purchase Valentines or love tokens for their loved ones. As if anyone needs an excuse for it, February is the time for love.
