Wonderful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I read this book in 1992 as an adult. My husband cherished Rood's books which he'd been given as a child by Mr. Rood's parents with whom he'd had many pleasant visits. The books inspired a lifelong love of nature in him. He still talks about the Roods all these years later and their son's wonderful stories. The porcupine tale lingers with me as a very enjoyable, funny, cute tale. Anyone with a love of nature will love reading and sharing this book. The author's writing is unique and engaging. Highly recommended.
Learned a LOT about porcupines

This is a darling story of Piney, an orphaned porcupine found by the Rood family. Rood writes about their initial difficulty getting Piney to eat, his destructive chewing habits (destroying their neighbor's ivory umbrella), the games he liked to play, what it was like to live and travel with him, his gentle behavior with strangers, etc. You'll learn a great deal about porcupines in this book and about the misconceptions others have concerning them. It's a well-written book and a quick, enjoyable read.
A touching story about an unlikely pet

Ronald Rood, a naturalist and childrens' book author, finds an orphaned porcupine while taking a forest walk with friends and family. This book is his documentation of how he raised the porcupine, as well as many trials and tribulations of raising an animal one can't easily punish (hence the title), while it stops to dispel many common myths and misinformations about porcupines, and also discusses many of the societal prejudices against animals in general. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes animals in general, especially porcupines. Don't let the title scare you off. :)
