• Porcupines evolved 35 million years ago and continue to thrive today. Their built-in protection has made them very successful.

Although my husband and I are in our 20's, we're kids at heart and still get a kick out of stuffed animals. We saw this at our local Borders (for more money, of course) and had to have it! It's so much fun to play around with and although it's not a big stuffed animal, it's still cuddly. The light fur is longer than the regular fur so it looks like "spikes." The pictures do not do this justice-it is truly an adorable stuffed animal! It's also well made, which is hard to find nowadays. Highly highly highly recommended!

I thought the puppet was kind of small. I have small hands and it was kind of snug on my hands. I think that a child would have an easier time manipulating the puppet. It is very cute though.

I bought this for my 1yr. niece. She loves it when you snuggle it up to her cheek, it tickles her nose and makes her giggle. One of the cuter affordable folkmanis puppets!
