Reviews
"Published originally in Italy and newly translated, this quirky self-discovery story features a descriptive, fairy tale-like narrative...Guarducci's vibrant, cartoonish illustrations incorporate some comical touches, like Spiky wearing pink slippers at home, which kids might chuckle over. Spiky's initial over-the-top maliciousness may potentially upset younger ones, though his transformation ultimately offers a positive message about kindness and what it means to have-and be-a friend." -Booklist
