The Skunk

Written by: Mac Barnett

First line: When I left my house, there was a skunk on my doorstep.

Why you should read this book: What would you do if a mysterious skunk starting following you around? One well-dressed, milquetoast fellow goes to great lengths to avoid his new companion, only to find that skunks grown in him. With delightful illustrations by Patrick McDonnell, of the syndicated comic Mutts, it's a crowd-pleasing, light-hearted bit of silliness.

Why you shouldn't read this book: You would reach for a gun if you felt threatened by an animal.
