Synopsis
A warm and funny book that proves good friendships can survive the longest of winters
Children's Literature
This charming picture book starts off with a skunk in a funk as she wakes up from her long winter nap and cannot find any of her woodland pals. This motley menagerie is missing because they have planned a surprise talent show for their friend down by the lake. Kids of all ages will delight in the sprightly verse of the text and the whimsically drawn animals as they perform their highly entertaining variety show. Teachers will be glad for this funny and warm book to help them introduce the appearance of spring and to discuss what good friends do for each other. If you liked the collaboration of Newman and Gorbachev in Where is Bear?, you are sure to like this companion book.
