Loved it!
Rating:
5 / 5
This book is very appealing to me and my two kids (ages 2 and 5). The illustrations are wonderful, and it is very well written. The kids laugh as we turn the pages, and it is a book that reads well over and over.
Hilarious

This is a GREAT book. Well written and illustrated. This is one of the most hilarious children's books I've read to my child. We were laughing throughout the whole thing.
I highly recommend this book to both children and adults.
One of my son's favorite bedtime books

I'll admit that I like this book as much as my son does. It's cleverly written and beautifully illustrated.
The story is about a Porcupine given the unusual name of Fluffy. Early on in his life, Fluffy starts to realize that he isn't really fluffy. He sticks to the back of the door, pokes holes in his mattress, and destroys his umbrella. He tries to become fluffier by pretending to be a cloud and a pillow (until his mother sits on him). He takes a long bubble bath, but only becomes soggy. He covers himself in whipped cream, eats a lot of marshmallows, and rolls himself in shaving cream and feathers. One day, Fluffy runs into a rhinoceros who says he's going to give Fluffy a hard time. When he asks Fluffy his name, the Rhino starts laughing. When Fluffy asks the Rhino what his name is, the Rhino tells him that his name is Hippo. They both laugh a lot and end up friends.
Lynn Munsinger's watercolor drawings are simple but rich with expression. Each page is like a painting that you'd love to have in your child's room. Kids can read this book even before they know the words because the images support the story so well.
I guarantee that you and your kids will laugh while reading this story. It's one of my all-time favorites.
