Hugh Pine and Something Else

A sweet tale on Hugh Pine the Porcupine and his "big" adventure in New York. It should be good entertainment for the target audience: children at all ages of elementary school. The issues at hand (what is a vacation; what is a big city and how does one solve a dispute) are enough to occupy any young reader. Still, this book is less far-reaching than the first two in the series. In the first book, "Hugh Pine", the porcupine - who only wants to be left alone - finds his red hat, he receives his name and he saves all his fellow-porcupines first from accidents and then from hunger. In the following book, "Hugh Pine and the Good Place", this clever but unfriendly porcupine undergoes a major personal change - from the seeking of solitude to the seeking of company. My advice: read all Hugh Pines in the order of appearance!
