After a series of rejections, a lonely porcupine finds true love with a prickly hedgehog.

Follows the humorous antics of Penrod Porcupine and Griswold Bear as they hang a picture, go camping, plant a garden, and have a garage sale.

Elmore is a porcupine desperate to make friends. But it is hard to seek closeness with others when you're covered with spikes that shoot off your back every so often. Elmore suffers rejection and heartbreak, but the goodness of his forest community ultimately shines through as the animals find a way to connect with this prickly bundle of love.
