The Skunk
The Skunk | Mac Barnett
5 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
When a skunk first appears in the tuxedoed man's doorway, it's a strange but possibly harmless occurrence. But then the man finds the skunk following him, and the unlikely pair embark on an increasingly frantic chase through the city, from the streets to the opera house to the fairground. What does the skunk want? It's not clear-but soon the man has bought a new house in a new neighborhood to escape the little creature's attention, only to find himself missing something. . . This slyly hilarious tale brings together picture book talents Mac Barnett and Patrick McDonnell for the first time.

Library patron: "I really like talking to you, but sometimes you aren't at the desk. You're elusive. Like a skunk."
My job is never boring.

Mimi28 I'm trying to get the main librarian at the library I go to into Litsy so hard. She has a life though, I know. I just feel like I identify with her so well, lol #lonelybooknerdproblems 8y

BookInMyHands @Mimi28 I love connecting with my library patrons. This particular patron is one of my favorites. He also asked me if I would cut his hair today 😬 There are times when I've thought my degree should have been in psychology! 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag It was quite complimentary until the last word 😂💛 8y
DebinHawaii That is hilarious! 😂👍 8y

Well, I was looking forward to a relaxing evening, reading in bed with chocolate, my first and only evening to myself in a week ... and then SOMEONE decided to try and make friends with a skunk. Thankfully it was only a little spray and I was able to quarantine Bentley outside right away but COME ON ALREADY. Thankfully it was only this guy - the grumpy one was too grumpy to bother going outside. Good call.

Notafraidofwords Ahh that's the worst 😔 in sorry. I hope you get to relax. 8y
LeahBergen Nooooo! Poor you! (but look at that face) 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Oh no! Tomato bath? 8y

ValerieAndBooks Eek! Hope the smell disappears ASAP! 8y
mllemay Oh no 😣 I hope the smell comes out quickly 🙏🏻 8y
Jenshootsweddings @Riveted_Reader_Melissa cider vinegar mixed with dish soap .. then castille soap ... then cider vinegar mix again. Works pretty well for small sprays. 8y
Annl That face! 8y
Suzze Good luck! 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Jenshootsweddings good to know! I hope it works wonders for your poor curios pup. 8y

A fun reversal of fortune story. Seems much more adult even though it is geared for kids.
