Skunkzilla

I love reading this book to my boys 3 and 6. We actually were crying with laughter the first time we read it! So its a little gross. I want my children to see how fun reading can be and this does the trick. The illustrations are wonderful and make the text come alive. Highly recommend this book if you have trouble keeping your children's interest in books when reading out loud. I mean who wouldn't want to hear about Skunkzilla and Skunkong.

very original.

When I first sat down and starting reading this book, I was disappointed and then I kept reading and then i read it to my 3 year old son and he has asked to read it every night for the past month. Be prepared to explain a few new words and concepts. And be a little or a lot grossed out. But this book is not boring and has lots to talk about. My favorite part is the, " Baby diaper skunks." I think my son has lots of favorites, he likes the skunk mobile with Hyper windsheild-wiper skunks. He also like the part were it says, " It's okay to spray the dresser drawer where your sister keeps her Pajamily." Pajamily is a made up word to rhyme with Family. Lots of imagination and vocabulary in the book. Lots of fun things in the book for girls, also.

FUNNY!!!

This has got to be the funniest book my kids and I have read to date! It is kinda disgusting, but my kids (6, 7, and 9) and I laughed so hard that I could hardly finish reading it. Definetly a must for a good laugh.

This book is hilarious!

I bought this book for a 5-year-old, but the adults love it as much as he does. The idea is that skunks are great, and their smell is the best part of them. The rhymes are hip and irreverent and silly, and the drawings bring the book to life. My brother-in-law and I could not stop quoting the line "Skunks with purple mohawks, dude!" to each other--it made us laugh every time. I can't wait to get the other two books by this author (Bugs! and Slugs!).I would highly recommend this book to anyone with a sense of humor, but I think it would be especially good for kids (especially boys) who think they don't like poetry.

The ideas for a skunk's use get zanier

Artist Lynn Munsinger contributes her hilarious drawings to Greenberg's consideration of the skunk and its possible attributes. Zany and hilarious scenarios include the idea that "skunks make superior sprinklers for watering your grass/Pump their tails several times, spray insects with their gas." The ideas for a skunk's use get zanier as the rollicking rhyme continues throughout.
