My Review

I Am Not A Skunk tells the story of Kitty, who was lost. This black and white cat was very furry and very hungry. We don’t know how she got lost, but she misses her home and food. As Kitty comes upon a little girl, Sarah, and her aunt, she notices they are planting flowers. Sarah asks her Uncle David if she can feed the cat, but he thinks Kitty is a skunk. He tells her to stay away from the skunk.

Kitty is very hungry and then gets wet from the sprinkler. What will Kitty do? How can Sarah show her uncle that Kitty is really a cat? Children will enjoy the cute cartoon illustrations and funny tale.
