Punk Skunks

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Shaskan. After skunk friends and bandmates Kit and Buzz fight over what to sing, they cease to rock together and are miserable. The novelty of punk-rock-playing skunks in a kids' book is undercut by the workmanlike plotting and too-easy resolution. The cartoonish digital art--featuring punky skunks sporting combat boots, leather jackets, and neon-striped Mohawks--plays up the genre's cheesiness.
