Book Review

Quills: The Hungry Little Porcupine” by Shibani Alter is a charming, quirky adventure that follows Quills, a porcupine with a growling tummy, as he sets out on a mission to find food. Along the way, he’s joined by his spirited animal friends—Pig, Monkey, Mongoose, and Goat—and together they navigate the ups and downs of the forest in search of snacks. What starts as a simple food quest soon turns into an exciting tale of bravery and teamwork, with a little touch of danger lurking in the form of a hungry leopard.

As Quills and his friends venture deeper into the woods, they encounter plenty of challenges, not least of which is the lurking threat of the villainous leopard. The suspense builds as the group races against time to gather enough food while avoiding the sharp claws of their predatory foe. In the end, it’s Quills’ bravery and the bond of friendship that see them through, reminding us that sharing and sticking together are the best ingredients for overcoming even the scariest situations.
