Porcupines and hedgehogs have both got a point-a pointy hide that is. These mammals are very different from one another aside from sharing a similar prickly defense against predators. Readers will find out about these animals' diets, habitats, life cycle, and more. A comparison chart serves as a ready reference for some of the major likes and differences between these animals. Book Review: Tell me the Difference Between a Porcupine and a Hedgehog"At a glance, you'd think porcupines and hedgehogs were cousins. Not so! … the facts are strong, especially when cleanly related in a two-page chart. Yes, we get baby info, too, and there's no contest: hoglets are cuter than porcupettes. A number of semichallenging, boldface vocabulary words, from foraging to omnivores, are defined in a closing glossary." -Daniel Kraus, Booklist
