Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Skunks are known to make a big stink and they can spray a long way -- up to 5 metres (16 feet)! But most skunks just want to live quiet lives and avoid trouble. They hunt mainly at night and love to eat insects, including beetles, crickets and even wasps.

About the series: Each book in the Welcome to the World of Series introduces children to wildlife through color photographs, lively description and amazing facts.



About the Author

Diane Swanson specializes in nature writing for children. She is the author of many books, including Safari Beneath the Sea, which won the Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Non-Fiction for Children. She lives in Victoria, British Columbia.

5.0 out of 5 stars great non-fiction, April 6, 2008
As a teacher I am very picky about the non-fiction books I purchase. I like the books to have large, detailed photographs and contain information that is both informative and interesting. This book had it all. I originally bought it as a Christmas present for my niece who loves skunks. I liked it so much that I bought an additional copy to keep in my classroom library! I would recommend this to teachers, children, animal lovers, or just book lovers in general!
