Katy Williamson
A Very Lovable Porcupine!
This absolutely adorable book will delight young readers who love animals and stories of friendship. In this story, we follow Perry the Porcupine on a journey of all different types of hugs from all of his friends, big and small. Children will learn that people have a variety of ways to show affection, as well as the fact that it is just as important to love themselves as much as their friends and family love them!This book is written perfectly to be read either by or to children. The rhyme scheme used is quite catchy, and wonderful, colorful illustrations perfectly carry the story. I can wholeheartedly recommend Porcupine Hugs as a perfect little book for young children!

In the story of porcupine love to give hugs but because of his quills it's a very prickly situation! But using ideas and persisting with giving hugs he figures out a way how to do it without hurting anybody. The author I thought did a good job and teaching children to continue trying even when it seems like nothing works. Eventually it will work out in the end and even better than you thought. The illustrations were life like and well done.

4.0 out of 5 stars So many ways to hug
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2020
I read this to my 5-year-old son. I thought it was cute how the animals adapted to the hedgehog and gave an ear etc because they couldn't give a physical hug.
However my son was unable to grasp such a deep concept. He said the book was boring. I think this book would work with kids with some explanation.

Another great children’s book by Belle Brown! Porcupine Hugs is a fun book about giving and receiving hugs. This book promotes happiness and positivity. It’s filled with sight words to help your child learn to read. And it uses rhymes to make it easier and more entertaining for young ones to read.

Join Perry on his adventure to give hugs to his friends!

Again this book has beautiful illustrations by Alejandra M. They’re colorful and bright and sure to capture children’s attention.

This book is great for encouraging children to want to read, and to help them learn to read. It has sight words sprinkled throughout the book, making it easier for children to learn to read.

How cute is this book!

Some of the illustrations look 3 dimensional. This is very special book suited for toddlers. Some prepositions and pronouns are highlighted in most pages, that could be used as introductory easy first words for even younger kids.

I’m in love with the overall presentation and the illustrations. I recommend this book for preschoolers.

Cute porcupine character. Be persistent in doing good for others. Everyone needs a hug now and then even if they don't think so. This porcupine is persistent in giving and receiving hugs to make others feel better. Sometimes the hugs come in different ways but always to make the other one feel good.

I love how all the animals give different hugs. No hug is the same, and that fine because everyone has a unique way to express their affection.
