About book How Do You Hug A Porcupine? (2011)

Kindergarten-Grade 3This is a cute book! This book is good for using in a writing lesson. First show the cover of the book and ask children to answer the question "how do you hug a porcupine?" Give children the opportunity to share their writing. After the writing is complete, read aloud the story to the children to compare their thoughts with the ending of the book. Awarded a new author award by Cheerios. Of course, you can probably figure out the answer to this question. :) My children and I enjoyed this rhyming book with fun illustrations of a variety of animals. Some of the animals they hug really are huggable and some are animals that should not actually be hugged (perhaps a point should be made to tell young children that you should never hug a wild animal...or even someone else's pet without their permission).As I have my students write a how to book each year, this might be a fun one to show as an example of a more creative "how to".
