Pedro is a porcupine with a problem. He wants to make friends with the forest animals, but they are afraid of him because Pedro's sharp quills seem scary. With help from his adoptive mouse family, Pedro meets 19 forest animals including raccoon twins with a flair for drama, a shunned skunk, a deer who is mocked for only having one antler, a hyperactive chipmunk, a friendly Canadian moose, a vulture with an odd sense of humor, and a snobby swan, just to name a few. Through Pedro's 19 surprising adventures, he learns that you can't judge a boar by his cover and that being yourself is one of the best ways to make friends.
