From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1–Cushion, a porcupine, is in love with Barb, a hedgehog who
loves to dance. But Cushion is totally inept at his friend's favorite activity.
No matter how hard he tries, he always messes up. When Tally-Ho tries to teach
him the fox trot, he trots right over the fox's bushy tail. While learning the
bunny hop from Clover, he hops onto the rabbit's foot, and while attempting the
funky chicken, he manages to shoot quills all over Biddy Hen's bottom. Finally
Barb solves the problem by teaching him to dance herself, and they end on a note
of triumph, dancing the night away with the Hokey Pokey, 'Cause that's what
[friendship's] all about! This upbeat story with very affable characters is
enhanced by whimsical illustrations that carry out the humor.–Sally R. Dow,
