A laugh-out-loud tale about a skunk who longs for a family, perfect for fans of Gaston and Wolfie the Bunny.

Skunk wants to be a dog. Everyone loves dogs. And every dog seems to have exactly what he’s looking for: a home and a family.

When Skunk sees a “lost” poster for Max the dog, he wonders if he can pass himself off as the missing pet. He enlists the help of three neighbourhood critters—a raccoon, a cat, and a squirrel—who train him in the art of being a dog with hilarious results. But, uh-oh, there’s just one thing Skunk didn’t account for...

Will it prevent him from finding a home where he belongs?

  • Perfect for animal lovers.
  • Message of acceptance and found family, plus lots of humour.
  • A gateway graphic novel: speech bubbles and panelled art sprinkled throughout will prime visual literacy.
