Description
Do you know? The North American porcupine possesses approximately 30,000 quills. Porcupine quill tips are made of little hooks that make removing them difficult. Porcupines do not throw their quills. Thanks to their quills, porcupines can float on water. Reviews: "All of the informational excerpts are well accompanied with comical illustrations. Informative words that are related to porcupines, words such as nocturnal, rodents, and predators, etc. are in bolded text throughout the book and are defined in the glossary. Other specific porcupine information can be found in the book's index. "The graphic novel element really sets the "Do You Know?" series apart from other animal fact books. Children will be attracted to the colourful illustrations and hilarious dialogue between the comical characters." Highly Recommended. ***1/2 /4 -- Canadian Materials Magazine
