Skunk's Spring Surprise

40 pp. | Harcourt | January, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-15-205683-4 $16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Valeri Gorbachev. When Skunk awakens in the spring, she searches for her friends but finds no one. Perhaps they've forgotten her over the winter. But no, they're waiting for her down by the lake with a surprise talent show. The pleasantly rhyming story lacks tension and emotional involvement, though Gorbachev's sketchy illustrations, showing forest animals dancing, juggling, and singing, are engaging.
