School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 3--In Collier's latest, readers meet Skunk, who decides he would much rather be a dog. After all, dogs get a lot of love and affection from the owners! When he finds a missing dog poster, Skunk decides to impersonate the dog and join its family. With the help of his three friends (a hilarious trio starring a squirrel, alley cat, and raccoon), Skunk starts training to be a dog. Through a series of entertaining events, Skunk learns that maybe the family he has been searching for has always been right by his side. The good-humored dialogue between Skunk and his friends is really where this book shines. VERDICT With Collier's playful yet adorable pictures to bring the characters to life, this book will find a home among animal lovers and humor fans alike.--Lauren White
