I won't lie, I like this book for the end. That being said, it's a little long. A menagerie of animals join porcupine for his picnic. All the animals learn from each other what they like to eat. I love that the author added animals not frequently found in picture books, but they could have cut out 5 and still have a fine story. The info at the end is a good addition and the illustrations will keep kids engaged.
