A Pet for Petunia

40 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | February, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-196331-5 $12.99
(3) K-3 Petunia has a toy skunk, but she "wants, wants, wants!" a real one. Despite her promises that she'll feed and walk it, her parents refuse. Miffed, she leaves home, and in some nearby woods encounters a skunk--and "A humongous stink!" Schmid's take on the kid-craves-a-pet tale is amusing, and his spare drawings, punctuated with purple and occasional dashes of orangey-brown, are eye-catching.
