Skunks (Kids Can Press Wildlife)
Grade 2-4–Focusing primarily on the four types of skunks found in North America, Mason has provided readers with an accurate, fun-to-read look at this sometimes misunderstood animal. She offers a straightforward description of the mammals habitat, appearance, predators, diet, reproduction, and human interaction. Realistically rendered watercolor illustrations appear on every spread, and the easy-to-read text is written on a lightly colored background. Captions accompany most paintings and further support the information being presented. Colorful skunk fact boxes include interesting tidbits of trivia. A solid, well-organized addition.–Cathie Bashaw Morton, Somers Library, NYCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
