Prickle is a heartfelt story about a young girl who longs for a beloved pet. Although she believes she is ready and responsible, she must prove it.
When her parents gift her a cactus, at first, she is disappointed. It simply won't do anything a dog can do! It can't bark, it won't roll over, and you can't pet it without getting pinched.
But with time, she makes the most of a prickly situation by looking on the bright side and focusing on what a cactus can do. She names her cactus Prickle, and an unlikely friendship quickly blooms. Readers follow the duo as they share everyday adventures. Lynette learns Prickle is way more fun than she ever imagined. But will she ever get the beloved pet she longs for, you'll have to read to find out.
Prickle is a whimsical story that teaches responsibility while making the most of unexpected circumstances. No matter what, Lynette keeps an optimistic mindset. She makes the most of her prickly situation and proves she has what it takes to care for a pet. Sometimes life gets prickly, but we have to keep growing.
This story was inspired by a class pet Cactus. The children who inspired this story accepted the responsibility of caring for their cactus. Spike currently resides in room 10.
