About this book

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 neighborhood critters—a racoon, 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 humor. - A gateway graphic novel: speech bubbles and paneled art sprinkled throughout will prime visual literacy.
