Book Review: Tell me the Difference
Between a Porcupine and a Hedgehog
"At a glance,
you'd think porcupines and hedgehogs were cousins. Not so! ... the facts are
strong, especially when cleanly related in a two-page chart. Yes, we get baby
info, too, and there's no contest: hoglets are cuter than porcupettes. A number
of semichallenging, boldface vocabulary words, from foraging to omnivores, are defined in a closing
glossary."
