Penny Lu Porcupine Summary

Penny Lu Porcupine by Katie Gilstrap

Like all porcupines, Penny Lu is nearsighted. So while her incredible sense of smell leads her to all sorts of yummy food, predators can be hard to spot. Thankfully, she has another feature thats quite amazing - her pointy quills! Even when shes scared, they make her look powerful. But sometimes Penny Lu doesnt feel powerful. And she wonders what shed do if she came face-to-face with the predator she fears the most - THE BEAR! With its rollicking, rhyming text and adorable art, Penny Lu Porcupine will charm readers and reassure them that they too can face their fears.

Penny Lu Porcupine Reviews

Gilstraps well-constructed rhyming narrative demands to be read aloud. Readers will delight in Lechugas velvety illustrations, which include details such as a praying mantiss intimidating posturing, a startled owl, and watchful predators lurking in the background. In an authors note, Gilstrap provides information about porcupines and insight into her own childhood panic disorder, both of which enrich the story and invite conversation about bravery in the face of anxiety. Rich illustrations and a snappy rhyming text reinforce the power of inner strength. Kirkus Reviews
