Summary of Plot: Is a story about a baby porcupine that is was named fluffy and but he coudn't understand why he was named that because he knows that he really is not fluffy. So he tries to become fluffy by trying to be a cloud but that didn't work. He tries to be a pillow and sock himself in a bubble bath but neither of those worked either. He took all day to put whipped cream on every quill but that just made him gooey. He ate marshmallows, covered himself in shaving cream and feathers, and dress up like a bunny but nothing was working. Then one day while walking he came up to a Rhinoceros that decided to give Fluffy a hard time so he asked Fluffy what his name is and Fluffy tells him and then the rhinoceros laughs and laughs and then when fluffy asks him what his name he admists that his name is Hipppo. So they became friends. A Porcupine named Fluffy and a Rhinoceros named Hippo.
Reader Reaction: Another great book that I love so much. I thought that it was funny and that it teaches a great lesson.
Potential Problems: being afraid of being yourself.
Recommendations: Read it to kids who are afraid of being them selves and help them realize that they can be themselves and that they can't let others make fun of them.
