A Porcupine Named Fluffy is a very cute story with a good moralistic theme.  

bullet

Fluffy is a porcupine who has a hard time coming to grips with the fact that his name does not characterize his attributes, for he is not fluffy at all.  Everyone that Fluffy meets gas a good laugh about his name, and this upsets Fluffy greatly.

One day Fluffy meets a rhinoceros who's name is Hippo, and Fluffy realizes that his name does not have to match his characteristics.  This book can be used as a tool to teach children to accept themselves and to be accepting of others.

This book should be read by children who are of pre-school age or older.
