Summary: A charming fable about trading freedom for safety
Comment: This illustrated children's story is a delightful read-aloud choice for parents or teachers, and they will enjoy and ponder the message at least as much as their young listeners. Written by an author better known for his adult mysteries, it is set in his adopted Maine and features an eccentric porcupine who agrees to rescue his own kind from highway death when they declare themselves incapable of solving the problem for themselves. When his plan turns out to have its own unwanted consequences, he accepts responsibility for trying again and, this time, succeeds. It's a satisfying story on its own. As a fable, it's a wonderful taking-off place for serious discussion of social and political issues. I have read it with great success to sophisticated eleven and twelve year olds and recommend it with great enthusiasm.
