Industry Reviews
"Maligned and malodorous...but oh, so interesting. Skunks may not be everyone's favorites, but they are fascinating. The smoothly written, gentle narrative explores the life of a family from birth in early spring to the kits' independence in late fall. Sweet-really: Animal lovers will find much to appreciate here, and report writers are well served." - Kirkus Reviews

"Packed with interesting facts and beautiful digital illustrations, this nonfiction book will entice early readers and student researchers alike. Back matter includes more information about skunks as well as a glossary and a list of additional resources. Young readers will enjoy the lyrical text and warm illustrations..." -- School Library Journal
