Descripción: A porcupine hatches a prickly plan to bring his animal friends together on Valentine’s Day in this humorous, heartwarming tale where everyone gets a happily ever after.Love is in the air this Valentine’s Day—or it will be if Porcupine has any say. He uses his quills like Cupid’s arrows, hoping to bring the sweet and sentimental spirit of the holiday to all his forest friends. But with every poke! that Porcupine gives, he gets a hey!, ouch!, or yowser! in return.It seems Porcupine’s mission isn’t turning out quite like he planned, but with some quick thinking he might just be able to save the day…and maybe find a valentine of his very own.From School Library JournalPreS-Gr 1-Porcupine is excited about Valentine's Day and wants everyone in the forest to experience true love. Unfortunately, she has a rather painful way of playing Cupid. She pokes them with a quill before giving them good wishes. The response is not quite what she expects; they are angry. After a bit of reflection, she has another plan, and anonymously posts a meeting notice to discuss the "Poke-y Porcupine Problem." There, while complaining (the complaints framed in wonderfully groan-worthy puns), all the animals find true love, in pairings of same gender and opposite. Loose and goofy digital illustrations complement to the sprightly narrative. VERDICT More LBGTQ+ Valentine's books, please! For larger collections and those with healthy holiday circulations.-Lisa Lehmuller, Paul Cuffee Maritime Charter Sch., Providenceα(c) Copyright 2011.
