Reviews
PreS-Gr 1—Morgan tells a simple tale of a young porcupine named Pip who sits on a nest of eggs. As the clutch of ducklings hatch, they think that young Pip is their mother and follow him around. Using an easy-to-read format with a large font and short sentences, the text and picture clues are just right for newbie readers. Although Pip looks like a "fluffy" porcupine with quills that are more curved than sharp and spiky, the colorful illustrations are endearing. Morgan makes good use of an uncluttered background of white space. There is nothing new in the plot here, and the minimal text and judicious repetition evoke P.D. Eastman's Are You My Mother? and its ilk. VERDICT A good choice for fledgling readers to try their wings.—Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA
