When Rebecca the skunk moves out, it really causes a stink.
Rebecca the skunk, who lives under a deck in the suburbs, tolerates the owner's dog and eludes all the traps he sets to ensnare her. But when three big scoopfuls of mothballs are flung into her nest, she knows it's time to move on. Leaving a note behind - "So long and thanks for the accommodations. Good luck finding someone to handle your pest control!" - Rebecca packs up and moves to the city, headed for a new life and new adventure.
This clever tale about one smart skunk is not only funny; it's also full of interesting information about skunks. Santiago Cohen's paintings, which have been likened to Ludwig Bemelmans', connect the reader to Rebecca by something far stronger than a pungent whiff: great good humour.
