How cute this book is!!!
The dedication had me tearing up, and then I was smiling and giggling at the absolute adorableness of Dr. Pete, the porcupine. The rattlesnake cure was my favorite. The teamwork theme was spot on and well portrayed. I want to send this book to some friends for their babies!!!

This book was a great easy read, with very bright and colourful illustrations!
My little girl will love this ❤️

This one will have the little ones laughing hysterically and entertained throughout. A precious and funny story that, overall, is all about the importance of having compassion and kindness, even when you’re dealing with the most prickly of people. Featuring Dr. Pete the Porcupine a quirky magic potion making porcupine physician and some of his desert neighbors, this one will have you smiling at its heartfelt message of friendship, compassion, kindness, and more.

I loved the message behind the story and enjoyed the rhyme and alliteration. The setting and characters were charming and it kept my three year old’s attention and interest!

So cute! I love the colors and the theme of the story. Sometimes all of us need a hug! Though, I wish there was an opportunity for talking about consent and that sometimes people don't like to be touched, and maybe a hug can be different things for different people, especially neurodivergent folks. All around a lovely book I can see my niece enjoying a lot.

This book is so sweet! While Doctor Pete is clearly a great doctor, he is also loving and kind to his neighbours too. Pete is an expert in all problems, especially prickly ones and he can fix them quickly. The illustrations in this book are adorable and the way the writing flows is perfect for a small child to follow along.

Thank you for the ARC. I don't review many children's books now that I no longer work as a reading teacher/librarian but I do read about 6 a day as a mom of second graders.
I read this with one of my twins last night and we loved it. The lesson is that love and hugs can cure a grumpy person, and it is real, assuming they want love and hugs.
It was very sweet and we really enjoyed it. The illustrations are wonderful as well.

The Prickly Problem is a very sweet story about compassion and caring for others. My daughter loved it! The illustrations are beautiful.

Thanks to netgalley for the early read. I picked this one up for something different to read my kids ( who love animals). They loved it and I enjoyed reading it. I also enjoyed the fun facts at the end. The story and art were great.

The Prickly Problem is a charmingly illustrated book that teaches both young and adults to show kindness and acceptance, and also not to judge someone based on their looks or without knowing them well. It reminds us that everyone has different burdens and can be misunderstood for their behaviors.

It’s a lovely lesson, done in a way that kids can enjoy reading. Kids will also enjoy the fact that there’s a Youtube video of the characters in this book to watch after reading!

Thank you, NetGalley and BooksGoSocial, for the e-ARC.
