1Look for a shared featureShow hint
All of these share a sharp, pointy feature that sticks out from the body or edge. Think about what makes a porcupine or a cactus hard to touch.
2Think about the edgeShow hint
One of these is found on a shelf, and it's the part of the item that holds the pages together. Another is a prickly plant from the desert.
3Connect the pointy partsShow hint
Each of these items has long, rigid, pointed projections, including a bound volume's back edge, a desert plant's prickles, a sea creature's quills, and a mammal's quills. Ask what they all have in common.
