A climber from her second day in the world, the little porcupette is slow and pudgy; she is still in danger from predators. But as she grows bigger and stronger, her quills will also grow, and soon she will no longer need her mother's protection. |

Publisher Description: In a forest in Minnesota, a baby porcupine is born. The youngster, called a porcupette, is big and already covered with quills. But she will still have some growing to do before she is sage from predators. In the meantime, she must learn to climb trees and manage those sharp quills before she'll be ready to leave her mother for good.
