But other than those points, the story is rather enjoyable.

The story is rather ridiculous, with regards to the mice walking up to Ocax's tree to ask for permission to move, and the mice's belief that porcupines are meat-eaters who shoot their quills. Poppy interacts with a grumpy porcupine and goes on a journey to free her family-a great story of courage and adventure. He promises to protect them from other creatures, but his real intent is to keep them under his watch so he can attack them if they disobey. Poppy is about a brave little mouse who decides to venture through the dark and dreary Dimwood Forest to stake out territory where Ocax cannot threaten her family any longer.
