Bookroo's summary

Two children face a quirky challenge: house-training their new pet porcupine. As their attempts grow wilder, they discover that sometimes the simplest solution is the most effective. Will they manage to keep their spiky friend? This humorous tale, filled with unexpected twists and vibrant illustrations, promises laughter and a heartwarming lesson for young readers.

From the publisher

This laugh-out-loud picture book is a hilarious take on potty training by a talented New Yorker cartoonist – perfect for fans of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and How to Babysit a Grandma.Two children bring home a pet porcupine, but they can only keep her if she’s house-trained! After a whirlwind of increasingly zany approaches, the kids learn that sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to ask nicely. With Tom’s wit and dynamic artwork, this delightful story about learning to pee will bring joy and heart to young readers.
