Illustrated by
Lynn Munsinger.
Greenberg follows his Slugs and Bugs! with verse about a much stinkier species. Reveling in the "galling, appalling, / truly enthralling / Glorious stink of a skunk," the poet gleefully enumerates the many uses of a skunk and its odor. Ebullient watercolor pictures filled with comic detail are a perfect match for the text's inspired silliness. This is one volume of verse kids will think is scentsational.
