Stinky Skunk Mel [Hardcover]

Poor Mel is a stinky—no wonder, he’s a skunk. None of the other forest animals want to have anything to do with him, and Mel is sent to live at the outskirts of the forest. But then, when a big forest fire comes, Stinky Skunk’s spray is just what’s needed... proving that a little stink is very important after all.
