Bear wants to throw Skunk a surprise party, all of the other forest animals are excited but also worried, because Skunk smells and needs a bath. So Bear takes it upon himself to make sure that happens, mostly by trying to make bathing as fun as possible. But Skunk is tricky and manages to get out of a bath. Will they have to cancel the party?
This is a cute, creative, and funny story. But the bath time issue is more suited to Pre-K, though I will admit I have yet to meet a child that hates a bath. But for those that do, this would be a fun read to help them understand why they should try it out. (Also the Pigeon Needs a Bath by Mo Willems). The illustrations are fun, but sort of darkly muted, like a photograph of an old cartoon on TV, its kind of odd.
