Small children can't get enough of bedtime stories. They also can't resist asking questions about things adults aren't always able to explain. Both young and old will, therefore, appreciate the answers to be found in these soothing accounts of nature's mysteries! Little Porcupine imagines the sun as a big porcupine in the sky, its rays the porcupine's spines. Sunsets are the grapes and bananas and raspberries of his picnics. Stars are the holes Big Porcupine pokes in "the moon's night cloak" in order to watch over and protect all the little porcupines as they sleep. Such cheerful imaginings and comforting explanations will surely dive way to pleasant dreams for children snug in their beds. Delicate, soothing watercolors in soft tones offer further reassurance that all is well.
