**In this fourth book in the illustrated Calpurnia Tate, Girl Vet
chapter book series, a young Callie Vee tackles a conundrum involving
the rambunctious family dog and some very prickly quills
**
When the Tate family dog, Ajax, has a run-in with a porcupine, things
get prickly--and dangerous--quickly. It'll take Callie's quick thinking
and doctoring, along with a little help from Dr. Pritzker, to make
things right. Will Ajax learn to leave other critters alone?
From Jacqueline Kelly, the author of the acclaimed books, The Evolution
of Calpurnia Tate and The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate, comes a
series for younger readers, featuring a smart and spunky heroine and the
lushly imagined world of turn-of-the-century Texas.
