ReviewedSomething prickly is moving in the forest! What could it be? People often confuse hedgehogs and porcupines, but there are a lot of differences between these cute critters! From spines to diets, this title explores what sets hedgehogs and porcupines apart with low-level text, colorful photos, and a side-by-side comparison.
'Each book in this series compares and contrasts 2 animals that children often confuse or even think are the same animal. The books are Blastoff Readers level 1 and are targeted at Grade 1-3 readers. Each book introduces the 2 animals, compares their physical attributes, compares their life style and habits, and ends with a side by side comparison with diagrams and a summary of differences. The books include a table of contents, index and glossary. There are additional resources, both in the library and online, shared at the end of the book. The books are colorful with wonderful photography. The text is predictable and user friendly for young readers. Vocabulary words are highlighted and defined in the index. These books would be a favorite of young readers as they are a manageable reading level as well as very high interest.', Pam Zoller, School Librarian, Olathe Public Schools
