The stinky way skunks defend themselves is just one of 14 topics in this clearly written book. Kids find out why skunks are black and white, where they live, how they raise their young, how they hunt and much more. The easy-to-read text and accurate, detailed illustrations of the Kids Can Press Wildlife Series provide a perfect learning resource for young children and satisfy their curiosity about these often misunderstood animals. Did you know? *As a final warning, a spotted skunk will stand on its front paws before spraying. *Some skunks will eat snakes -- even poisonous ones! *Newborn skunks, or kits, are so small that you could fit two in the palm of your hand. *Skunks help people by eating animals that can be pests, such as rats and mice.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4–Focusing primarily on the four types of skunks found in North America, Mason has provided readers with an accurate, fun-to-read look at this sometimes misunderstood animal. She offers a straightforward description of the mammals habitat, appearance, predators, diet, reproduction, and human interaction. Realistically rendered watercolor illustrations appear on every spread, and the easy-to-read text is written on a lightly colored background. Captions accompany most paintings and further support the information being presented. Colorful skunk fact boxes include interesting tidbits of trivia. A solid, well-organized addition.–Cathie Bashaw Morton, Somers Library, NY

This review is from: Skunks (Kids Can Press Wildlife Series) (Paperback)
At first I was disappointed that this book is so small and thin. But it's well written and has more pages than first impression would indicate. Our 5-year-old grandson is fascinated by skunks, so this is a prized treasure to be read again and again. He loves the book and his new skunk--also a great find.Webkinz Ganz Large Skunk August 2008 Brand New Release Hm-213
