"This rhyming story about a painting porcupine introduces counting, colors, and language concepts. Pinky Porcupine paints the doors in the town, and finds a different animal friend behind each one. Kids can count from one to 10 in English, Spanish, Chinese, and French, with pronunciations noted on each page. The animals gather together to say goodnight in their different languages at the end and fun animal facts close out this fun, fact-filled board book. Pictures are colorful and eye-catching and fun, perfect for counting storytimes and introducing readers to new languages." -- Rosemary Kiladitis, Mom Read It

Pinky Porcupine is painting the town. Children ages 2-6 will enjoy finding out who is behind each door being painted in this colorful rhyming board book adventure that teaches 1 through 10 in four different languages! Unique, fun, and thoroughly 'kid friendly' in organization and presentation, "GUESS WHO is behind the door" is a unique and especially recommended addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library board book collections. -- Midwest Book Review
