(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Jennifer L. Meyer. This first entry in an engaging standalone series for younger readers features aspiring naturalist/veterinarian Callie Tate (The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate) as more sister than scientist. Her one-year-younger brother, Travis, brings a baby skunk home. Callie's first-person narration adopts a tone of loving exasperation, and it reads like family lore with an extravagantly humorous ending. Generous black-and-white illustrations reinforce the turn-of-the-twentieth-century Texas setting and highlight action.
