A Porcupine Named Fluffy

Helen Lester

The humor is just absurd enough to make the picture-book set howl along with Hippo and Fluffy." -New York Times Book Review

Fluffy the porcupine is unhappy with his name: "So he decided to become fluffier." He climbs a tree and pretends to be a cloud! He even poses as a pillow. (His mother is not pleased when she sits on him.) When Fluffy meets a rhinoceros named Hippo, it puts his plight in perspective...and he makes a friend. This terrific tribute to self-acceptance--complete with the cutest porcupine pictures on the planet--is now part of a fun, 8" x 8" hardcover series about life lessons.

Praise for this book

"Munsinger's bright, cheery pictures are as whimsical as Lester's delightfully silly text." -- Publishers Weekly
