Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Collier's artwork blends cartoonish humor with moments of tenderness; this is a funny but sweetly told tale of found family." -- Kirkus Reviews
"The sweet story of found families is thankfully given a little bite with the squirrel, cat, and racoon trio, who are all clearly living their best human-less lives. Digital illustrations cleverly balance full, saturated spreads with more focused vignettes, giving readers a sense of the comings and goings of the neighborhood while highlighting Skunk and pals' shenanigans." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Collier delights readers with a tale about a skunk trying to find a family. Jovial digital illustrations, humorous facial expressions and dialogue add buoyancy to this tender tale." -- Booklist
